LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

DISPUTE ABOUT MOSUL. | MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED. | Sun-Reuter. LONDON. Dec. 6. j The Secretary of State for Foreign j ! Affairs, Sir Austen Chamberlain, and the I | Secretary of State for the Dominions, Mr. j | L. C. M. S. Amery will represent the | j Empire at the meeting of the council of | j the League of Nation's which will open J to-morrow. An important question will j he the reception of the decision of the j Hague Court of International Justice regarding Mosul. I The council will also discuss the pre- | liminary report of the disarmament committee, which will possibly be referred to the world conference. The third question is when will it be convenient to admit Germany to the League, whether to postpone the event till September, 1926, or to summon an 1 earlier assembly ? The fourth subject for the council's consideration is Sir Horace Rumbold's report on the recent Groeco-Bulgarian dispute. The Observer says Britain's choice bei ween Mosul and the goodwill of Turkey must be approached in the spirit of the Locarno Pact. Referring to the Irish settlement the paper says it proved that consent settles frontier questions better than arhitra- i tion. It, urges Britain to begin direct negotiations with Turkey, with a view to j securing a compromise. If the Mosul dis- J pute is settled by arbitration, there ! is little prospect of peace with Turkey, India, or the Middle East, while, the British people will certainly repudiate any extension of the mandate.
