GENEVA, Sept. 5.—(By The Associated Press) .— Italy’s representative Signor Salandra, told the council of the League of Nations today | that Italy would regard in- tervention of the league in the Greco-Italian crisis as unjustified. ‘The league, he asserted, had no com- petency in the affair, which belong- @4 properly to the interallied council of ambassadors. The Italian government expressed its irrevocable opinion through him that the council should not accept the Greek request that the league take up the matter. By her appeal, gaid Signor Salandra, Greece sought | to escape her responsibility. He emphasized that the present Greek ®overnment had not yet been recog- mized by a great number of coun- ‘tries; hence the necessity of Italy to seize Corfu to obtain satisfaction for the assassination of the Tellin! Mission.” ‘was the logical body to handle tho Incident, because the question of living up to the terms of the peace treaties was concerned. If the ‘Teague closed its eyes to this fact it would be acting in excess of its powers, he declared. M. Politis, former Greek foreign minister, in reply said Greece had mo desire to escape her responst- bilities and showed her good faith| neutral tion. A crowd clamored before the @oors of the room where the council! ‘was convened, struggling for ad- mission and the ushers were often swept away as the eager visitors, including many women, formed fiy- ing wedges and surged into the chamber. The members of the coun- cil themselves gained access with difficulty. Signor Salandra’s statement cre- ated a sensation in the council chamber, which had many Ameri- cans among the spectators. Lord Robert Cecil of England Bdded 4 sensation by insisting that articles 10, 12 and 15 of the covenant of the League of Nations should be read immediately both in French and in English and by declaring that if these articles were to be dis- regurded, the whole settlement of Europe would be shaken. The articles in question were cited by Greece as the basis of her appeal to the league and stipulate that the| council of the league has a clear right to an Investigation when there is danger of rupture between any of the states which are members of the league. Further discussions of the Greco-Italian crisis was adjourned to an unfixed date but perhaps to- morrow, in order to give the mem-/ bers of the council an opportunity | to examine the Italian declaration and decide upon their futifre attitude in the crisis, which is generally re- garded as having been aggravated by Signor Salandra’s pronounce- ment. M. Polltis remarked that it was for the council to say whether it ‘was competent to deal with the Greek affair and not for one of the parties to the dispute to declare the league's incompetency. “If such a point of view was ad- mitted,” asserted the Greek spokes- man, “it would mean the definite ruin of the pact of the league and ef the international organism which the pact has created, because it would always be possible to pretend for one reason or another that the pact did not apply to the nations which were parties to the dispute, and also that a nation interpreted the pact differently and that con- sequently the league's organism xvould not operate.” “This would mean that the leaguo was not to operate for the mainte- nance of peace,” added M.

It is believed, however, that the German editor had been in- formed by Chancellor Stresemann that the government would seek to force a solution of the Ruhr conflict soon. The situation in the occupied areas also is steadily becoming worse both| in respect to economic conditions and the temper of the resisters who no longer are able to maintain tho solidarity necessary for a united front.

The auditorium of the new edifice was far from being large enough to care for the hundreds who packed the hall in order to see and hear the galaxy of Casper stars who suppiled |the talent of the evening. All seats were taken a half hour before the curtain raiser at 8 o’clock and soon after every available foot of stand- ing space had been parked on. It was practically an impossibility to estimate the number who were surging around the newly construct- ed open-air dance pavilion. One of the 8. O. 8. orchestras held sway in the center of the floor and kept dancers entertained until midnight. In addition to the multitudes in the auditorium and at the dance the dining hall was packed with those appealed to by the refresh ments of ice cream and coo! drinks. The all-inclusive hospitality of the Industrial Relations department fur nished the great Standard Ol) family and its guests a full evening's pleasure last night.
