DEATH OF SIR SIDNEY LEE..
M. Briand protested against thre insinuation that France had raised: the question with the object of eluding the moral engagement's she had entered into at Locarno with regard to Germany and was taking precautions against Germany. "We may not enter into engage. ments with Germany.or anyone else for it is indispensable that the Council of the League should be entirely free in its décision."
Nations desiring permanent sents on the Council had taken advan- tage of the occasion offered them in connection with the admission of Gormany and it was their right. Nobody could oppose it, and the polemics. Indulged in on this occo- sion were not calculated to enable the League to discuss matters with perfect freedom.
