MANY ON SUBJECT
GENEVA, March 13 (£)—Allied rep
yesentatives abandoned at the last mo
ment their plan to hold another mieefs
ing with the German statesmen and
reverted to their original intention to
submit the tangled question of recon
stitution of the league council to mem
bers of that body itself.
Germany Pitted Against France
GENEVA, March 13 (&)—Either
Germany or France must give way
in the éontroversy over reconstruction
of the council of the League of Na
tions, if the league is to be saved and
Europe not again driven to despair.
This was the situation today as
seen by close observers of the situa
tion in Geneva. Sir Austen Chamber
lain, British foreign secretary an
nounced that it was useless for the
Rhineland pact signatories to con
tinue their conversations with the
Germans because he was convinced
that it would be fruitless. 1‘
The German representatives have
reiterated that they cannot accept the
obligation to approve a new perma
nent seat in the council for Poland, .
for this would violate the fundament
al policy which Germany has fash
ioned to guide her attitude as a mem
ber of the league—a policy of cooper
ation by all members of the league
and not a selective policy of allying
herself with special groups. |

France, argue that Poland’s anpnear
