Paris. Aug. "a.
The spider of European intrigues
seems to be casting it's web over the
Forthcoming meeting of the Council OF
the League of Nations in connection
with the Upper Silesian boundary
question, despite the preaching of
utopians that the league would be an
impartial tribunal in world affairs
Official announcement was made at
Geneva to-day that Conde Quinones de
Leon, Spanish Ambassador to France,
having refused to accept the task of
making a report for the League Coun-
Gil on the Upper Silesian dispute, Wis.,
count Ishii, japanese Ambassador here
and president of the council, had de-
cided to take it himself.
The announcement contains no reason
for the Spanish Ambassadors refusal
to act as reporter for the Council--a
refusal which continues TO be the SUBJ
ject of engrossing speculation in all Eu-
ropean capitals.
viscount Ishii's self assumption of the
delicate task is not pleasing, apparently,
TO the French. who would much prefer
Paul Hymans OF Belgium. But NJ.
Hymans, as we'll as Ambassador
d'Acunha OF Brazil, declined the delicate
task. although both OF these diplomatists
have been perfectly willing IN all past
disputes to give their services.
Shows Lengue Differences.
Thus the league has again become a
storm centre. and now it's impartiality
Is questioned, inasmuch as the action
OF the Spanish Government has made 1t
plain that the councils representatives
are not to act In this case in a ,nagis-
terial capacity. according to Tommaso
Tittoni of Italy, but as the direct repre-
sentatives Of the various European
foreign offices and with the balance of
power always in mind.
All this seems to bear out the con-
tention of the league critics. who have
declared that despite Woodrow Wilson's
ideology in the conception of the council
II would. in all vital matters. divide it.
self into groups. according to the cur
rents of European politics, and be a far
from impartial tribunal such as the
idealists have pictured 1t.
France will not dispute Viscount
Ishiis decision, which falls entirely with
In his prerogatives as president of the
council. This has served to further un-
dermine the already shaken confidence
of France in the league.
Japan has sided with England in
nearly all the allied Supreme Council
disputes. and, acco riding to Mr.. Lloyd
George. supported England's thesis in
the Upper Silesian case. This, however.
has been contradicted by the Japanese
in a statement rather ostentatiously put
out here and in which it was declared
that the Japanese were neutral and in
dependent. Viscount Ishii represented
Japan on the allied Supreme Council.
and the question is asked here how can
he act differently on the league council?
There are, therefore. many indications
