UPPER S|LES|A
 UNION b YEARS
League of Nations Solves Problem By International
 Commission to Rule

Buenos Aires, October s.-The in- dustrial region of Upper Silesia will be maintained as an industrial and economic union for 15 years. under the solution of the Upper Silesian dispute reached by the council of the League of Nations, of which the Geneva correspondent of La Nacion says he has authoritatively learned the substance. The industrial re- zion would be administered during this period by an international com mission. The territory in dispute po- litically would be divided into two zones under Polish and German sov- ereignty. respectively. and while de- limitation of the frontiers Is net yet completed 1t would be more favorable to Poland than the recent delimitation proposed by Great Britain, closely following the plebesclte lines.
 While there would be two distinct political zones the industrial region would be constituted as a single eco homie union, with the same monetary basis and common railway and indus trial administration. The industrial commission would not have political competence.
 According to this plan, the Germans and Poles would continue to utilize reciprocally the advantages of the region for example, German fac- tories could employ Polish hydraulic power and Polish mines utilize Ger man industrial clements.
 The term of Is years. it Is pointed out. would give ample time to repair possible errors In the solution of the question and at the same time allow for the gradual organization of the economic life of each of the two zones in accordance with the capacity of the inhabitants. The correspondent says the council considers that the merit of the project resides in avoid Ing industrial Reorganization in Upper Silesia.
 The British and French govern ments are said to have approved the project, though Italy made some res- ervations.

TRUCE BREACHES SETTLEMENT RISK
 IN IRISH FARLEY
Both Sides Blame Other for Violations of Armistice.
 Delegates Spend
 Quiet Sunday
By A6sOcinted Presa

London, October 9.-Thc Irish peace delegates spent quiet Sunday in London. the delegates and the secre- taries dividing their time between the various churches
 third secretary has been added to the delegation. He Is John Char tres, and his appointment has pro- yoked much speculation. His name Is unknown in Irish politics, and he is the only one connected with the delegation who Is not a member of the Dali Eireann or any other repre- sentative body. He is the grandson of Richard Chartres of Dublin, his father being the late Sergt. Major Chartres of the Eighth Hussars. He married the Italian poetess, Annie Vivanti.
 His accession to the Irish delega- tion is taken as indicating that the Sim Fein is engaging all expert ad- vice possible, as he is an expert in several branches of law. and has served in the intelligence section of the British war office.
 Outsiders Invited
 Others invited to assist the dele gation, although not Sim Feiners are Dr. George Orien, historian and economist, and George Russell of the Irish homestead, and former off cial of the British local government board, to handle the intricate ques- tions of local government.
 The chief risk to settlement is now believed to be in Ireland, rather than in the conference chamber. Both ut a hn4 h-Aa Af tba truce have recently multiplied. Dub lin Castle claims to have a list of 500 such breaches, while Sim Fein liaison officers have issued numerous instances of alleged aggression by police, auxiliaries and soldiers.
 To carry arms Is a breach of the truce. but to drill troops Is not; neither is the transfer of troops, and each side has answered the others complaint by saying that they were only training or moving troops.
 The appointment to London dele gation of Ramon J. Dugan. who, since the truce, has acted as chief liaison officer, removed from Ireland 8 man whose great discretion helped to the avoidance of trouble. His successor, Murphy, has had less experience.
 Truce Breach Question Up
 This question of breaches of the truce possibly will be the first sub ject taken up by the conference. which meets at Il o'clock Tuesday morning at the prime minister's of ficial residence in Downing street, to discuss procedure. Another danger some anticipate Is that if the intern ed Irishmen are released there will be celebrations throughout the country which might cause clashes between the people and the crown forces.
 It is understood. however, that there Is no immediate intention of releasing the prisoners, but once the conference Is well started the release fof some of these men Is regarded as probable. Those convicted by recog nized courts of political effenses, 1t Is said, would have to awA.I amnesty which would follow the final settle mont.
 Michael Collins, the Sim Fein min ister of finance. and head, of the Irish republican army. is expected to reach London tomorrow.
