the right of way to the leagues inter-
national army across Switzerland DIR.
Durant bases his argument on Swiss
neutrality.
Leon Bourgeois, president of the
council, replying, expressed deep regret
that before refusing, the Swiss govern
ment had not conferred with the coun
Gil. 1t would have been found, he said,
that conditions were such that a mega
tive reply was unnecessary.
NJ. Bourgeois then reverted to the
request of the free city of Danzig for
authorization to manufacture $1,000
rifles for the Peruvian government.
The council approved the recommenda-
ton by V;scount Ishi I, Japan, that the
request be refused.
The council also accepted the terms
of communique to clear up rumors
that the American note on mandates
had been referred to Mr.. Balfour.
The general terms of the reply, it
as explained. had been considered in
the council but Mr.. Balfour had been
asked to make draft only because he
was more familiar with the subject
than the other members.
