Br the Assoriated Press ENEVA, March 14.—Closing most impertant meeting in its his- tory with what is generally admitted as a constructive of grest nificanee for future harmony in Europe, the League of Nitions coun- cil adjourned tonight after express- ing a sincere wish to Germany associated in ite labors the leaguc and thus play ganization of pemee sponding to Germa the world. 1f the council was unable to prove Germany's request for an e coptional place in comnnection with the obligations jmposed by the cove- nant, it did. by ng the above centiment, pay her x great and un- precedented honor, for no country has ever been bid te take a seal in the league and place around the epuneil table.

Despite the heavy biow delivered to the cause of disarmament by this week's activity In the matter of the protocol. the statesmen apparently departed from Geneva with fresh courage to attack the huge problem of security. Several members of the council said tonight that the real rea- son why the protocol is lost, so far as its present form is concerned, is hecause, wpart from defects due to hasty preparation, it embodies ideals too advanced for the preecent era. One member said; Ultimate Suceess Seen. “Christianity 8id not become a practiced religion wuntil three cen- turies after Christ, The protocol rep- resents what we should do in the world—gettle conflicts by arbitration. But the world is not ready to agree to that yet. The protocol went too far on arbitration and was weak in its system of sanctions. But the supreme goazl is before us. and some day we will achieve it. Let patient and give the world what is ready for now. That mediate task The council again made use of the World Court of Justice today when it decided to ask its opinion in the dis- pute between Greace and Turkey over expulsion by Turkey of the Greek patriarch from Constantinople. Tur- Xey insists that this is a purely do- mestic question and that the council has no competency to settle it. The it is our_ im- Hague tribunal will be asked o inter- | pret Article 15 of the Covenant and tv decide whether the existing dispute is, as claimed by Turkey. one which arises out of a matter that by in- ternational law is solely within the domestic, jurisdiction of Turkey Issue Is Important. Under Article 15, if The Hague court decides aMirmatively. the eouncil can make no recommendations as to & mettlement. This is one of the great Doints strengthened by the Geneva protocol, which raised simultaneously the problem of immigration. for the pratocol made it possible for the coun- il te examine any conflict, even when thrown out by The Hague tribunal as | exclusively domestic in character In addition to sending a letter to rmany concerning her jolning the league, the council voted to notify Germany immediately, and also Hun- gary: Austria and Bulgaria of its d cisions regarding the organization of the right of investigation into arm: ments authorized by the treaty Versailles, which these countries have agreed to accept. This system of in- vestigation, which involves an in- quiry by international commissions once the finterallied military board has transferred the military fnvesti- ®ation right te the League of Nations has been communicated to Germany and the other states in detail. England having strongly opposed the appointment of a special inter- national commission for surveillance of the Rhineland demilitarized zone, this matter was postponed for later consideration. Another question postponed that relating to whether uny by the council after it has reports fram the interpational com- miseions should be taken by & major ity or unanimous vote of the council. s action Held of Great Importance. Tn ite letter on German membership In the league. the council emphasized how the principle of equality was the very essence of the league's constitution, and expressed the opinion that this prineiple has an important bearing on the speeial guestion which Germany raised with regard to article 1§ of the covenant, providing’ for zanction. The couneil declared that this artiele was of capital importance for the whole struc- ture of the league, comprising as it does an important part both of the safe- guards enjoyed and the responsibilitics accepted by all the members. The letter then summarized the Ger- man pesition, which is fear that if the sanction measures provided for in arti- cle 16 should lead to hostilities Germany would be incapable of protecting her territories sgainst military invasion; belief that Germany should be free to determine how far she could participate in sanctions, and Germany's conviction that she should not be comvelled “to waive her right to neutralit; Replying to these objections, the council emphasized that the extent of active co-operation in league mili- tary measures must vary with the military situation of the member in question.

That being so, it was declared that torney General would be legal. But there is a statute, it was pointed out, which prevents the payment of salary to such an appointee after the Senate has rejected his nomination. In other jwords, if Mr. Warren were appointed lin recess of the Senate and accepted, |he would be unable to draw salary | unless the Senate at some future time should confirm his nomination. The law was passed, it was sald, to dis- courage as far as possible the giving of recess appointments to men who had been rejected by the Senats.
