Nations Asked to Give Opinions on
 Its Possible Elimination
NO ACTION ON GERMANY
Question of Ruhr Will Not Be Brought Up At Present Session If It Proves Disagreeable-MosI Is- sue Is Scheduled.

Paris, Jan. 29. (By Associated Press)-Whether the occupation of the Ruhr would be mentioned at the meeting of the council of the league of nations was still question as that body met this morning under the presidency of the Earl of Balfour.
 The announcement by Premier Granting of Sweden that he would not bring the question up, as he had said he would do, if he found the discus sion ''disagreeable to any of the chief ly interested countries" was taken to mean that France did not consider that her reparation dispute with Ger many could be discussed by the lea que. Premier Granting made his statement after talk with Premier Poincare.
 Might Be Brought Up.
 However, it was thought that the question might be brought up by some member with a view to making it known that, although the council could not go into the question without being asked to do so by the powers interested, it was ready to take active steps whenever those nations said the =
 word
 It is pointed out in league circles that the resolution of September 27 which was adopted by the council with the full approval of the powers, does not say that the council should not follow the reparation question. On the contrary, it expressly stipulates that the council should give constant attention to the subject
 The resolution also voices the opin- ion that the council can make useful to settlement only when invited to do so by the powers. This is taken to mean that it can talk about the separations situation at any time but must wait for sign from the powers before acting.
 The Mosul oil dispute between Great Britain and Turkey which has been the cause of so many differences at Lausanne will come before the council at tomorrow's session and the Earl of Balfour will make an address setting forth the situation and ask ing the council to accept the task of solving the difficulties.

 Eight Big Specifications.
 The eight conventions deal respec- lively with the straits, the frontiers or Thrace, the status of foreigners in Turkey the Albanian declaration re- garding payment of the Ottoman debt, the commercial regime with Turkey, the armistice declaration and the exchange of populations and ex- change of prisoners of war between Turkey and Greece, which last two will be signed tomorrow by these two powers.
 The atmosphere about the confer ence was tense today, the chiefs of the allied delegations holding lengthy consultations and going over the situation.
 Turks Admit Crisis.
 The Turkish representatives said the situation was so critical and diff cult that they would make no state ment, although one of the secretaries expressed the hope that the speeches brought out by the presentation of the draft in the conference Wednes- day would be of such conciliatory nature that rupture would be avoided.
 The spokesman of the Russian dele- gation, when shown Belgrade report asserting that Turkey and Russia would give each other mutual military support in the event of a resumption of hostilites. declared the report was an invention.
 M. Stancioff, the Bulgarian minister to Great Britain, added to this denial by declaring untrue the report that Bulgaria and Russia had reached an agreement under which Russian | troops would be permitted to cross Bulgaria into western Thrace as an 1 lid to Turkey should hostilities be | resumed.
