LEAGUE SANCTIONS
DISCUSSION UNLIKELY. MR EDEN’S WATCHING BRIEF. NOT TAKING INITIATIVE. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received January 18, 9 a.m. LONDON, Jan. 17. The Manchester Guardian’s Geneva correspondent says that League quarters consider it doubtful whether ail extension of sanctions will even be discussed except in private conversations. It is pointed out that sanctions are not a matter for the Council, but the Committees .of Eighteen and Fiftytwo, neither of which will meet unless specially convoked. Mr R. A. Eden is likely to hold a watching brief. If the 'question is not raised he will say nothing. If there is a proposal he will not oppose it, but will suggest that the committee of experts meet to decide whether the time is ripe for an extension of sanctions, thus giving the League respite to see what the United States intends to do. Russia is not likely to lead, as it would lay the Soviet open to the familiar charge of being inspired by anti-Fas-cism.
