(Received 3 p.m.) WARSAW. January 10
‘‘The present international crisis is partly due to the League’s weakness and failures,” declared Colonel Beck, Polish Foreign Minister, addressing the Diet’s Foreign Affair? Committee.
“The League is insufficiently strong to enforce the Covenant,” he added, “but certain interests are attempting to make it an instrument against totalitarian States, to which Poland does not subscribe.
“We are also opposed to the article binding members to enforce sanctions against aggressors, and we regret the tendency in some quarters to regard the Italian and German attitudes to the League as unimportant.” . Must Find Own Solution.
He added that if the League could not solve the problems of migration and war materials, Poland must find its own methods of attempting a solution by direct negotiations with individual States on a new international
Co-operation. Colenel Beck also attached importance to the future of Palestine, and the general problem of Jewish migration.
Subsequently, official circles announce that, despite the criticism, Poland did not intend to leave the League.
