GERMANY AND POLAND.
A DANGER IN EUROPE.
COMPLAINTS TO LEAGUE.
A DELICATE SITUATION.
LEAGUE COUNCIL INQUIRY.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received January 1, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON. Deo. 31.
A most delicate situation awaits the meeting of the Council of the League of Nations on January 19, as the outcome of Polish disturbances over German minorities.
Germany has already despatched to the league three Notes, complaining that persons of German origin havo been deprived of votes. Germany is sending Dr. Curtius, the Foreign Minister, to Goneva, to make most serious charges against Poland.
It is likely that tho Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Mr. A. Henderson, will be asked to preside, in view of Britain's neutrality. It is alleged that Polish terrorism occurred in tho Corridor district, which is one of Europe's danger spots. It is generally considered that Poland is in the wrong, the early admission of which would ease the tension.
Franee, who is Poland's ally, favours an inquiry, but tho other Powers consider that tho League Council should give a decision on the evidence available, without further delay.
