LEAGUE OF NATIONS ENTERING ON FATEFUL WEEK

CRITICAL GENEVA

SESSION

ASSEMBLY MAY BE FORCED TO

-A DECISION

FORMULA PROBLEM

LONDON JAN. 11.

NEXT WEEK IS APPROACHING ALL TOO RAPIDLY FOR THOSE WHO HESITATE AND THE QUEST FOR A SOLUTION OF THE SINO. JAPANESE DISPUTE. THE WEEK, COM- MENCING ON MONDAY, IS LIKELY TO MARK THE MOST CRITICAL PHASE YET IN THE MAN- CHURIA DISCUSSIONS AT GENEVA, AND THERE IS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY THAT THE LEAGUE WILL BE FORCED TO A DECISION BY CIRCUM- STANCES BEYOND ITS CONTROL.

Everything hinges on whether Sir Eric Drummond and M. Paul Hymans, the Belgian delegate, have dis- covered a formula for conciliation procedure which will prove acceptable to both parties. Such an event is con- sidered remote, but should the prodigious obstacles be overcome, the general view will be that substantial pro- gress has been made towards a settlement of the imbroglio.
