council of the league of nations after
hearing the Poles and Lithuanians to-
day on their respective claims in re.
gard to the disposition of the city OF
Villa and the surrounding territory
may decide that case on its merits it
was forecast this morning and demand
that both parties accept the solution
without further argument. This feel
ing is prevalent it was explained, as
both parties to the dispute have re
jected the idea of a plebiscite and as
a direct settlement sought at the re
cent conference in Brussels was not
effected.
The hope of the council it is indi
Gated. is to induce the disputants tc
accept a broad economic and military
agreement. making the question ol
Villa seem less important by compari
son. The insistence of the Poles
however that representatives of Villa
| be admitted to the discussion is al
obstacle to such a plan.
