By the Associated Press PARIS, March 11. 8 dieted the ninth ministry of istide It is termed the eneva ministry” by the Right and nter groups, which forecast its early demise when M. Briand returns to Paris from the League sesslon The IFigaro hints that M. Briand ac- cepted the premiership again, after the fall of his ministry on the finan- cial plans, but it was desired he skould attend the league sions with full au- thority to act for France on the ques- tion of Germany's .entry into the gue and also in the embroglio aused by the demands of countries other than Germany for pel seats in the league council. M. Briand has been informed that he will be questioned in the chamber be- cause Louis Malvy given the port- folio of the interfor. Malvy was ban: ished from France after having been convicted of defeatism during the World War, but when the radicals came into power he was granted am- e The history of Malvy is similar to that of Joseph Caillaux, who also was banished, but received pardon and was y. | allowed to return to his homeland.

Enlargement of the council would be a policy of wisdom, he thought, because if disputes arising from the operation of the Locarno pact ever reached the league, as they must un- der certain contingencies, a ma powers in the council could not, under its rules, participat. in the voting; hence the urgency of introducing into the council states which_were not connected with the main Locarno accord. Yesterday the allied nations saw that the situation revolving around the council membership quarrel had almost got beyond their control. drazil declared she could only vote for Germany if she herself were ad- mitted Into the council, an attitude, which, if persisted in, meant that Ger- many could not be given council mem- bership, since unanimity is requisite, and that Germany's delegates would ! ¥ sbably return to Berlin. With Spain non-committal concern- ni her eventual action on Germany's and Japan's attitude at served and mysterious, M. l'nfl--n, Sweden's vouthful minister, pounding the table with his fist, stuck unflinchingly to his at tude that the council must not be in- creased beyond the addition of Ger- many. Conciliatory Move Made. Foreign Minister Yanguas y Messia of Spain introduced into the situation today what was regarded by some as a conciliatory note by insisting that what Spain would do in the event her demand for a seat was rejected had never been disclosed, thus giving the impression that Spain would not go xn) the limit of abandoning the league her aspirations were not attained. “enm‘ Yanguas v Messia is credited here with an ambition to restore Spain to her anclent position as a great power. Comdr. Franco's recent flight to South America is described as one | of many incidents which have a.mused Shanish desire for international | grandeur, particularly to be evidenced by a seat on the council in Geneva, placing her on the same footing the greatest powers. Chao Hsin-chu, chief Chinese dele- gate, today again demanded enlarge- ment of the council with a place for China, insisting that allocation of seats should not always be on the basis of military strength, but that! more stable elements, like economic power, geographical position, great population and ancient culture should be taken into consideration. Sees Peace ir: Offing. “To the criticism that military difficulties in China,” he said, “we reply that our internal strife may cease at any moment, because, follow- ing the classical Chinese proverb, ‘Brothers combatting brothers at home will, united, face external danger.’” The foreign minister of a small Furopean country expressed the belief to the correspondent today that the best way_ to solve the crisis is to abolish the privilege of permanent chairs, and have all the seats in the council open to election by the assembly. M. Paul Boncour today voiced the bitterness felt by the Locarnist .pow- ers over yesterday's events in the un- official meeting of the council. “We thought when we came to Ge neva that there was merely some dif- ference between France and Germany over the council problem,” he said. “This has been dispelled, but now we find a crisis threatening not only the Locarno pacts, but the league's very life and a thwarting of Germany's en- trance actually menacing world peace.” ‘He' concluded that he was confident a way would be found to reconcile the divergent viewpoints, Afranio Mello Franco, the Brazilian representative, called on Chancellor Luther of Germany this afternoon and explained that he was not adopting a. nostile attitude toward Germany in in- sisting upon voting for permanent council seats for both Brazil and Ger- many. 1le said he was merely following in- structions from his government, which believed the American continent should have 2 seat if the present coun- cil is to be enlarged.
