Taunching a novement 1o organize and stimulate 17 dry sentiment in Maryland, with a view to making it felt at the polls later on, the United Law Enforcement Clubs of Mary- land gathered a capacity crowd at the Congressional Country Club last night at their first law enforcement and law observance dinner. Although Maryland has no State prohibition enforcement code, it was explained by George H.

The commission would make its report in time to permit discussion at the September assem- eign Minister Unden of Sweden received a great ovation when he nresented his satement. He regret- ted that the council had bheen un- ible to zive Germany a nermanent seat, “because the problem was linked up with others.” “Cruel as our reception is tod the League soon will welcome Ger many into her fold.” he added. The entrance of Germany, he de- clared. had heen partly impeded b certain special interesis which 1 stood in the wav of the league" progress. M. Motta of Switzerfand without specially mentioning Brazil. declared that “if a great nation, the ampion of arbitration and a lover of justice, had made the necessar gesture of ahnegation, the whole as- sembly would have acclaimed her.” The assembly applauded M. Motta's hint that hy adenting such an atti- tude Brazii mizht have secured the permanent council seat which she desired. Commends Resolution. He also paid tribute and Czechoslovakia and warmlyv com- mended M. Briand's resolution. sav- ing he shared in the homage of the Krench premier to the attitude of the German delegation. “If we are able to resist this erisis then the League has not lost its vitality " he said. “If the league shall zo down. the noise of its fall would be drowned hy the roars of indignation of the peo- ples of the earth M.

He urged the council to choose a commission to study reconstitution of the council on the widest basix and to make the commission non-political, as upon its work depended the furure of the league.

He added that Ds- thonia would welcome Soviet Russia as well as Germany into the league. Chao Hsin-chu reiterated China's claim for a council seat, saying that all the contnents should take an equal part in the league activities in order that the league should not be dominated by questions of J.uropean politics. He supported M. Louden's demand for a non-partisan commis <ion to study the question of the coun cil's enlargement. Discord Settled. A statement issued by representa- tives of Germany, Belgium, France, Great Britain and Italy declared that while there was reason to believe the quarrel over council seats would not be overcome at present. they were happy to recognize that the work of peace that they realized at TLocarno. and which existed in all its value and all its force, remained intact. The communicaton added that the TLo- carno signstories were convinced on the occasion of the next session of the assembly the present discord would have been settled and Ger- many’s entry into the league realized. Other complications besides the Brazilian attitude arose to prevent the carrying out_of the program for the election of Germany. The little en- tente brought pressure to bear upon M. Benes not to resign Czecho- slosvakia’s non-permanent seat on the council in order to make way for a chair for Poland unless both the allied powers and Germany would unequivo- cally commit themselves to support Rumania's candidacy to a non-perma- nent seat at the next election. Spain made a velled threat that she would discontinue collaboration with the league, though she might not resign, because the Spanish people. believing in the justice of their claim to a permanent seat. would find it difficult to carry on at Geneva after a rebuff. All these considerations reluctantly forced the allled and German leaders to the conclusion that the best inter- ests of all the nations concerned, and especially the interests of the league itself, pointed to the wisdom of a post- ponement of Germany's entrance into the league. ) Application to Remain. The practical outcome of the pro- jected postponement, with Germany still keeping her application for membership on file, will mean a new and determined canvass for seats on the council, which undoubtedly will he reorganized after an investiga- tion of the problem at the regular September assembly. the council of the league for de- ciding to adjourn the election of rmany without allowing more time for the Brazillan government to reply to the appeal of the councll and to take cognizance of the resolution urging Brazil to alter her attitude, which was voted at yesterday’ meeting of the Latin American dele- Bates.
