When the Council met privately yesterday to discuss the agenda, the Italian representative handed Mr. Anthony Eden, British Foreign Secretary, a letter couched in conciliatory terms, explaining why Italy is not sending a delegation. to the Council and expressing confidence that an improvement in the situation would permit Italy to resume collaboration with the League....
The Polish Government has informed the President that it is in favour of the lifting of sanctions.
The question of the reform of the League Covenant was rais ed by the Chilean representative at the private meeting of the Council He declared that there was a real danger that their general responsibilities might involve them in a conflict in which they had no interest, direct or indirect. It must be possible for... one part of humanity to remain outside disputes, even in case of catastrophe.
M. Livitnoff (USSR) expressed the opinion that the Co- venant had not been utilised.
M. Titulescu (Rumania) in a fighting speech said that tol criticise the Covenant instead of the men who did not apply it was a profound injustice. The Little Entente would accept pro- Posals giving more force to the Covenant, but would never agree to touch the principle of the equality of the nations.
