LEAGUE COUNCIL
PERMANENT SEAT FOR RUSSIA FAVOURED BY MAJORITY Ptm* Association—By Telegraph—Copyright GENEVA, September 8. M. Barthou stated that, as a result of to-day’s conversation, it is almost certain that the League Council will unanimously favour a permanent seat for Russia. He added that unanimity could be achieved by Argentina abstaining from voting and Portugal forgetting the house of meeting. The question of the admission of the Soviet was adjourned until Monday at the request of Poland, which is privately negotiating with Moscow in respect of the treatment of minorities. Poland is not opposed to Russia’s admission to the League. The Council also decided to examine and make clear to the people living in the Saar the political, economic, and financial consequences of the plebiscite in order that voters may have a clear perception of the significance of the ballot. A report of the Committee on Austrian Finances pays a tribute to Austria’s powers of recovery, and it will publish figures showing the improvement in the balance of trade.
