LITHUANIAN DISPUTE.

WITH POLAND.

Appeal to Geneva.

Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received November 29 at 8.25 p.m.)

LONDON November 29.

British official circles are unruffled by the Continent’s anxiety over the Polish-Lithuanian problem, and are sanguine that no untoward event will occur, now both sides have appealed to Geneva. One comment is that the position is in no way worsened because the Soviet jay is suddenly trying to imitate a dove. QUESTION IN COMMONS. LONDON, November 29. Mr Locker Lampson, in answer to a question in the Commons, said the Council of the League of Nations was about to examine the tension between Poland and Lithuania. He trusted a settlement would be reached, restoring friendly, relations. The Government had no confirmation of the alarmist rumours published in the press, and felt confident that neither party was unwise enough to act rashly, while the League’s deliberations were pending. Poland had just assured the League that she had no designs on Lithuania’s political independence, or territorial integrity, and only desired the restoration of normal relations and the termination of the state of war Lithuania was maintaining against Poland.
