One Victory for Gen Geneva Session Adopts German Report Delay
Geneva reports a pivotal League of Nations council session concluding with Germany winning a tactical victory over Polish minority policies. Poland protested as the council, urged by British Foreign Minister Arthur Henderson, declined to adopt an approving report on Polish reparations for anti German disorders and adjourned the issue to September. Key outcomes include referring the Austro German customs union to the world court for advisory opinion and naming Henderson as chairman of a new disarmament conference for February 2. The move is praised as practical, though it could provoke future disputes if The Hague ruling favors the customs union, potentially drawing in France Czechoslovakia and others.
