TENSION " SEENS REDUCED Loagee Hoars Goncliatory Spowch by Lithuanian Premior Lugano, Dec. 14 (M—Tension in the Baltic appeared today to have been reduced. Premier Waldemaras of Lithuania making the first moderate speech since the outbreak of his country’s dispute with Poland over the Vilna Question, announced to the council of the League of Nations that he would accept a resolution for exam- ination of the Baltic situation by technical experts of the league. He paid tribute to the role that For- engn Minister Briand of France as president of the council, played in bringiug about international cooper- ation and conciliation. Labors Late M. Briand, whe was bucked by Count Quinones De Leon, of Spain, the official reporter on the contro- versy, labored late at night and suc- ceeded in inducing the Lithuanian premier to accept league interven- tion which had been shorn of any character of implied menace of pen- alties against Lithuania. The conflict was removed from the dangerous domain of politics and into the technical ficld by a de- cision of the council to have the league committee on communica- tions and transits strive for restora- tion of normal railway relations be- tween Lithuania and Peland. The committee also seeks to re- store normal conditions on the Nie- man river, Lithuania to Memel from Poland. Can’t Reach sea Norman Davis, an American, made a report on this subject but Polish timber is still unable to reach the sea by the Nieman river, owing to the dispute with Lithuania. Today's action means that the crisis over the sovereignty of Vilna has at least been avoided tempo: ily with the hope that Lithuania and Poland may be brought together on the basis of mutually beneficial eco- nemic agreements. The league council also gave fur- ther evidence of a belief that proper solution of economic problems con- selidates peace. The council decided to appoint a committee of experts to examine the causes of fluctuations jn the purchasing power of gold and their effects on the economic life of nations. An American probably will be named on this committee, LEAGUE T0 TRY 10 ACT AS MEDIATOR' Wilt Adopt Policy of Conciliation in Trouble Between Paraguay and Bolivia. Lugapo, Switzerland, Dec. 14 (A — A policy of conciliation in the Bo- livian-Paraguayan crisis will be pur- sued by the council of the League of Nations. On the suggestion sof President Briand, the council sitting privately today decided to send to Paraguay and eablegrams received from Bo- livia and to forward to Bolivia the message alrcady received from Paraguay regarding her willingness to accept concillation, M. Briand told his colleagues that he believed this was the loyal thing to do under the eircumstances and ali the memn bers assented without discussion. Apparently seeking advice from the council as to what should bhe done In the event that the South American dispute should take on un unexpected development after to- morrow's probably adjournment of that body, M. Briand remarked that it might be well to make arrange ments for future action. This ques tion was held over until tomorrow with the opinion prevailing among many of the members that Briand whe will confinue as president until the March sessions, should be em- powered to adopt any measures he might deem desirable.
