London, April 16.

The Home Secrctury. Sir John Gilmour, announced in the Hose of Commons to-day the rstuhlish- ment of a new Department in the Home Office under an Assistant Under-Secretary. The department luid been formed in order to co operate with the local authorities

Great Britain, France and Italy have adopted a firm and united policy to solidify their front in an attempt to force the League of Nations Council to approve a resolution strongly condemning Germany's violation of the Versailles Treaty by announcing her with a view to organising focal plana for re-armament. For this reason the passage. of the resolution to-morrow is virtually assured.

The Council adjourned to-day without voting. It is expected that Poland and Denmark will abstain from voting when the time comes, thus allowing unanimous approval to be given to the resolution.

M. Laval, the French Foreign Minister, presented the resolution, submitted by the French Government, at the public session of the Council which followed preliminary private talks, in which the smaller powers, led by Poland and Denmark attempted to block the proposed severe rebuke to Germany due to the fact that they feel that the French course, approved by Britain and Italy, will alienate Germany from the League rather than persuade her to rejoin it.

Both these nations refused toļ serve on a Committee, suggested by France, to draft measures to punish future violations of tren- tice.

M. Laval called for a "show- down" of The opposition to the

solution of rebuke. "Germany's net of March 16," Te said..."must be condemned.”.
