SILESIAN PROBLEM
LEAGUE'S Jj^..olON NO OUTSIDE INFLUENCE EXERTED. MR A. J. BALFOUR INTERVIEWED. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received October i 6, 5.5 p.m. LONDON. October 15. Mr Balfour, interviewed on his re- | turn from Geneva, slated that some I foreign journals alleged that the Counj cil of the League in dealing with Silesia was merely the puppet of various Governments. The suggestion was absolutely without foundation. The I Council was left severely alone to j grapple with the problem, which was | exceedingly difficult through the inter- ! mingling of populations. He believed that notwithstanding the natural objection against, culling the industrial area in two, the regulations elaborated would immensely diminish the inconvenience. If both parties show ordinary prudence and a sense of selfinterest I hey will be able to make a workable proposition of the scheme. lie could not, imagine any policy more fatal than for Germany to seek to' wreck the scheme, especially as German industries are safeguarded.
