A FOUNDATIONLESS SUGGESTION
m at ,> LONDON, Oct. 15. Mr. A. J. Balfour, interviewed on his return from Geneva, stated that some foreign journals alleged that the council of the League, in dealing with Silesia, was merely a puppet of the various Governments, but the suggestion was absolutely without foundation. The council was left severely alone to grapple with the problem, which was exceedingly difficult through the intermingling of populations. He believed that, notwithstanding the natural objection against cutting the industrial area in two, the regulations elaborated would immensely diminish inconvenience, and if both parties show ordinary prudence and a sense of self interest, they would be able to make a workable proposition of the scheme. He could not imagine any policy more fatal than for Germany to eeek to wreck the scheme, especially as German industries were safeguarded.
