LEAGUE MEMBERS
FEAR WILSON NOT
TO Be MEDIATOR
tey the Associated Press. J

GENEVA, Nov. 26--The attitude
among Ndelegates of the assembly of
the league of nations toward the APP
peal of the league to President Will
son to act as mediator in the Ar.
menian situation appears TO be one
of hope without expectation that the
United States will relieve Europe
and the league Of an embarrassing
question.
Behind the admitted necessity ~
doing something for. ATnaRtala there
is q conflict OF European~ fnterests
involved. Great Britain. 1t is under
stood, would look with great disfayor
on intervention by any power hav-
ing rival interests. Action by the
United States in Armenia, Ii Is held,
would involve no such complica-
tions.
In, default Of action by President
Wilson. general opinion here is that
France Is the country most likely
to offer favorable reply to the me-
diation appeal made by the council
of the league yesterday to the vari-
Gus powers at the same time the
message to President Wilson was
sent. Acceptance by France, how
ever it is understood. would be on
condition of full support by the
other powers.
The activities of the assembly have
been transferred. for the time being
from the Hall of the Reformation
where the full sessions Of the body
have been held. to the headquarters
of the secretariat. Here the commit
tees and subcommittee were hold
ing sessions Throughout the day.
They will continue their labors until
Tuesday, when the assembly win re-
convene, hear the first reports Of the
committees and take up the resolu-
ton of oGeorge Nichol Barnes of
Great Britain, asking the council to
explain why il did not intervene to
prevent the clash between the Poles
and Russian Bolsheviki last sum-
mer.
Committee No. of the assembly
has finally settled upon the principle
of its report on disarmament. the
French viewpoint prevailing. The
recommendation will be that disarma-
ment be imposed only with due re-
gard for the security of the differ
ent states. The committee Is taking
up the question of an economic
