P)—A formula of co-operation, by which Ger- many and Russla can participate in the technical, financlal, health and transpor- tation work of the league of nations and thereby be admitted into the soclety of Furopean natlons, even though the Genoa conference does not result in an all-Eu- rcpean agreement, is being developed, by the secretariat of the league and will be infor:naily discussed during the meeting of the councll of the league which e- gins tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock. Plans for co-operation became neces- sary at Genoa recently, according to league officials, when the economic con- ference declded to refer to the league many of the economic questions dis- cussed at Genoa. The German and Rus- sian delegates objected to such refe- ence, cn the ground that they are mot members of the league. The delegation of members of the league organization ! who are at Genoa then drew up a plam, with the approval of the league officlals, for co-operation. Russia and Germany accepled_the plan tha tthe problems be turned o¥cr to the league of nations, on the theory that the league has set up adequite machinery for handling them. Russla and Germany would not he members of the league in the full politi- cal sence, league officlals explain. but their partial participation ' would natur- ally lead to eventual membership. The election of Germany to the league at next September's meeting .. ww assta- bly was considered a foregome conclu- sion. but in the opinion of some mem- bers tiic has been seriously imperilled by tie recent treaty signed with Russia and Germany now will have to be con- tent with partial membership. Leaguc circles are greatly disturbed by the fear that an nnsuccessful termi- nation «f the Genea conference would re- act unfavoraly on the whole question international cooperation and make the pessibility even of partial coopera- tion by the United States with the league #ls for the continuance of the discus-|of nattuns more and more remote.
