LEAGUE OF NATIONS
nUMT REMS ECHO OF CHACO WAR. Press Association Electric Telegraph—Copyright ASUNCION, Saturday. The Chancellery has announced that Paraguay has filed notice of resignation from the League of Nations on the eye of the expiration of the period in which Paraguay had either to accept or reject definitely the League’s plan for peace in the Chaco war, which Bolivia accepted. A PECULIAR POSITION.
(Received Monday, 10.10 a.m.) GENEVA, Sunday. Paraguay has announced her withdrawal from the League of Nations, which will be effective after two years. Her Note admits that the League is empowered to impose an arms embargo, but claims that the League _ wrongly raised the embargo in a one-sided manner, thus helping Bolivia, which Paraguay regards as the aggressor. The Note adds that Paraguay leaves because her expectation of equal treatment was not fulfilled. To-day ends the three months’ grace for adoption of the League recommendations. Henceforth Bolivia, which adopted the League’s recommendations, will be warring legally, while Paraguay’s position will be illegal.
