NATIONS LEAGUE: IEE' HANDY MAT
 0F EUROPE

LONDON, Jan. l8.-Take it from | Sir Eric Drummond, the League of Nations is the handy man" of Flu rope.
 Sir Eric, who is the general secre- l tary of the League, contends that whenever European nations have a 1 job that looks difficult or disagree able they wish it off, on the League. | Whether the problem is political, sci entific, administrative, executive, hu- manitarian or financial the practice the League"
 The League, Sir Eric made it plain, is not complaining It delights in it's tasks and welcomes the burdens i'm posed upon it.
 Modestly the leagues secretary ad- vanced tho claim that every problem that has been submitted to the or ganization for adjustment except one, has been straightened out or is in process of solution. The one eXcen- tion is the Wilma dispute.
 eve were unable to bring about an adjustment of the Vlna matter" Sir Eric said, "hut the intervention of the League undoubtedly averted sit nation that might have had very seri- ous results
 Disputes Settled 1 Two political disputes which Sir Eric claims have been satisfactorily settled by the League are those in vOlving the Aland Islands and Albania. Both of these controversies, he de- clares, had possibilities fully as pregnant with disaster as was the dis pute which brought on the European war"
 itself, it's secretary declares, for ob- taining guarantees designed to pre- serve the independence of Austria. | Financially sneaking, Sir Erie con- | tends, the League has demonstrated 1 it's ability The commission of the | League which is governing the Saar Basin has a surplus in it's budget-a situation few European governments can duplicate.
 One of the imm mediate plans of the | League involves a customs conference, to be held under the auspices of the | economic committee, which will be asked to draw up uniform customs regulations designed to help the flow of trade between nations. This con 1 ference will be held at Geneva in the [near future.
 Aids Disarm The League also qintends to take hand in the movement for disarma- ment according to Sir Eric. It has been proposed that a commission be { appointed to draw up detailed plan for disarmament to be presented to the next assembly of the League. The question of the extension of the Wash ington naval armament treaties to nations that were not represented at the Washington conference also is to be discussed at the next meeting ot the League council.
 The humanitarian work ot the League at present is centering around the fight to stamp out the evils Of opium and cocaine. The opium ques- tion is difficult one, Sir Eric ad- mits, but the cocaine problem is not insolublc.
 If the League is properly support [ ed by the nations of the World,' ST Eric said, "it can stamp out the co caine evil in five years. All that IS necessary is to establish system or controlling production by the licens- 1
