LEAGUE CRITICISM OF DANZIG

Mr. Eden Addresses

· Council

Geneva, January 22.

A finely worded speech by Mr. Anthony Eden in his capa→ city of rapporteur for Danzig was the outstanding feature the discussion on Wednesday of the events of the Free State the during 1935. Beginning by saying that he was sure all colleagues would agree that they were fortunate in having a High' Commissioner in whom they had unlimited confidence, the British Foreign Secretary then declared the situation of Danzig to be extremely serious,

It was regrettable that the Council again had to give Its attention to the breach of convention which it was under the obligation to maintain with goodwill-he would almost like to way good falth-of the Danzig Government, and he was the members would not object to the time and trouble detail- ed by the consideration of these questions.

Geneva, Jan. 22." An exchange of views between the British and other Governments on the altuation in the Mediter ranean has been published in a memorandum and sent by the United Kingdom delegation "at Geneva to the Co-Ordinating Com- mittee. "It shows that in addition

Buthe events which had occur- red since the last report in Decem- ber were unavoidable and raised doubts as to whether the Dark- zig government is really dealing with these questions in a spirit of loyalty and good-will. On De- cember 23, continued Mr. Eden, the league Council had adopted the report recommending, the Dan- zig Senate to take the necessary measures to amend the legislature in order to make it conform to the constitution The Council was in every way justifled in expecting its recommendations to be honest-situation, he was followed by the ly carried out by the Danzig gov- ernment since they were drawn up on the basis of Investigation by the three exceptionally experien ced and capable jurists von War- Lemberg, Koesters and Fleiners and since the President of the Bebate had assured the Council at the previous session that the Sen- ate would take measures in accor- dance with the Council's recom- "mendations.

OIL EMBARGO TO BE EXAMINED

Geneva, Jan. 22. The Committee of Eighteen re- commended to-day the convening of a committee of international experts to examine the effectuality at an oil embargo against Italy.

M. Titulescu, the Rumanian For eign Minister, pointed out that this recommendation in дя way changed the decision of the League to put an embargo on other pro- ducts in due course.

The appearance of the word transport in the Committee's re- solution indicates interesting deve- lopments. It is now believed the question of the transport of oil is more vital than production.
