Politis explained that he was not informed as to the text of ‘the note prepared by the ambassadors but that he understood it was virtually an incorporation of the measures pro- posed before the council of the league this week by the Spanish ambassador to France, Count Quinones de Leon. Therefore, he added, the council might well say that it had ef- tectively collaborated ir solving the crisis, nder the circumstances,” he con- tinued, “the question of the com- petency of the league to take up the Greco-Itallan dispute becomes purely academic because the conflict itself will presumably have been settled.” Fxplains to America. the cor- be made M.

Geneva, Sept. 8.-—Publication here of the text of the council of ambas- gadors note to Greece containing a propbsed basis for settlement of the Ttalo-Greek conflict inspired 'diverse views in.eague of nations circles. The first reaction was that of re- joleing that the ambassadors had practically embodied the suggestions of the league council for the best means of solving the crisis and that they have also gone on record as ap- preciative of the league's initiative. The second reaction was that in the actual plan of settlement the league of nations seemingly has no official place unless it be through the per- manent international court of justice ~—a child of the league—which 1s named to pass upon the question of indemnity. 20 Yr.
