Avenol (which dealt with the League's decision respect. ing the German conditions for joining the Council session), M. Pierre Flandin, the French Foreign Minis- ter, publicly submitted a resolution yesterday showing conclusively the French and Belgian intention of asking the Italians and British to join them in applying sanctions against Germany.

HITLER'S PLAN REJECTED
LEAGUE COUNCIL'S DECISION TAKEN
(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH”).
(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages „Ordinance, 1884, Received, March 17, 7 a.m.).
London, March 16.
The League of Nations Council, in secret session to-day, rejected Herr Adolf Hitler's demand for the consideration of his peace proposals as the price for Germany's attendance at the Council sessions concern- ing the Rhineland crisis and the violation of the Treaties of Locarno and Versailles.
It was also decided that Germany should be entitled to attend the Council sessions on the same basis as other disputants but that like France and Belgium, Germany should not be able to vote. Thus Herr Hitler is left the choice of backing down or accepting the responsibility of a break with the League.
The first decision is based on the thesis that the Council is incompetent to discuss Herr Hitler's demand for the consideration of his peace proposals, since they concern only the Locarno Powers: The second decision is based on the Locarno Pact provisions prohibiting member nations from voting in any dispute,
