LEAGUE COUNCIL
DELEGATES ASSEMBLING, MATTERS IN MELTING POT ARMS FOR BELLIGERENTS BY WHOM AND WHY HAS THE QUESTION BEEN RAISED? (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright] Received Sept. 19, 12.40 p.m. GENEVA, Sept. 18. A large number has already assembled for the League Council meeting. Two of the League’s most prominent figures, Senor Madariaga, and M. Titulescu, will be missing, the former on account of the Spanish civil war and the latter because he has been dropped from the Rumanian Cabinet and at present is seriously ill at St. Moritz and is occasioning groundless rumours that he has been poisoned. M. Litvinov travelled via Warsaw and Vienna to avoid crossing German territory. The Spanish Foreign Minister has arrived at Marseilles en route to Geneva. He flew from Madrid in a Government aeroplane with several bullet holes in the wings. The Times’ Geneva correspondent says that the very composition of the Council is in the melting pot. . There has long been deep satisfaction at the system of permanently excluding certain ungrouped Powers from representation thereon, and the creation of an extra non-permanent seat is not regarded as going sufficiently far. The Manchester Guardian’s Geneva correspondent says that there has been much comment on the mysterious last-minute addition to the agenda of the League of the question of prohibiting, under the provisions of the Covenant, the supply of arms and war material to belligerants. Everyone Is asking why the question has been suddenly taken up after two years Inaction and at whose instance it has been raised?
