May Send Separate Netes. The plan_is for Poland. Czechoslo- vakia and Rumania to transmit sep- arate notes to the League secretariat asking that the question be put upon the agenda of the March session of the Council. with the idea that the Council will vote an investigation. The consignment of machine guns, which is alleged to have come from an Ttalian firm. has been causing some excitement in political circles in Eu- rope. especially as reports have been current that Rumania was hesitating to join her partners in the little en- tente in the protest. If the joint notes are received they will constitute the first case involving the “right of investigation” by the League Council into the armaments of former enemy powers. Smuggling Is Charged.
