DANZIG DISPUTE

GENEVA PROMOTES SETTLEMENT United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received January 26, 6.30 p.m.) GENEVA, January 24. After arduous negotiations lasting till the early hours of the morning, the Danzig dispute was settled. Senate agreed to modify laws to which objection was raised, in accordance with the desires of the League Council. TERMS OF AGREEMENT PRESIDENT MAKES CONCESSIONS British Official Wireless (Received January 26, 6.30 p.m.) RUGBY, January 24. An agreement has been reached at Geneva on the Danzig question, the president of the Danzig Senate agreeing to modify two decrees passed by the Senate, which were regarded by the League of Nations as unconstitutional. The agreement came before the Council of the League this evening. Mr Anthony Eden is leaving Geneva to-night. ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR MR EDEN CLASH OF NEWSPAPER COMMENT United press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received January 26, 6.30 p.m.) LONDON,' January 25. “Another triumph for Mr Anthony Eden,” says “The News Chronicle,” and other papers discussing the settlement of the Danzig dispute. “Dangerous Mr Eden,” says “The Daily Mail,” which daily condemns his attitude regarding the dispute between Italy and Abyssinia. “The Mail” expresses the opinion that Mr Eden is leading Britain into a conflict in the Mediterranean. “The News Chronicle,” on the contrary, answers: “There could be no better reply to the parrot-talk about the 'dangerous Mr Eden.’ Twice he has played the bold part in saving the threatened peace of Europe. Now he has done it a third time. Mr Eden firmly and boldly faced the Danzig Nazis, resulting in the Danzig question ceasing to exist as a threat to the peace of Europe.”
