LEAGUE PROBLEMS.
PRISONERS IN RUSSIA. [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Friday, 1 a.m.) LONDON, June 16. At a public meeting of the Council of the League of Nations held in London, Lord Curzon, presiding, described the correspondence exchainged between Persia and the Bolshevist Government. He considered that Persia had acted rightly in negotiating with the Soviet and requested Prince Firouz to keep the Council informed of the course of events. Dr Nausen reported on the repatriation of prisoners of war, of whom he said there were still a quarter of a million in Russia, and there was an equal number of Russian prisoners throughout Europe. The difficulties of repatriation had been hitherto insurmountable. He hoped the new route to the Baltic would enable the repatriation of six thousand to and from Russia before the winter.
