cable adjustment of the dispute
over permanent League of Nations
council seats, which kept Germany
out of the. League. almost was
abandoned tdday, so far as the
present meeting, of the council is
concerned.
Absence from the council meeting
which convened today Of Ousten I'm
den of Sweden, the Marquis Qui-
nones de Leon of Spain and Mello
Franco, the Brazilian delegate,
seemed to make settlement impossi-
BILE before the assembly convenes in
September. Those three were the
leaders in the battle over council
seats last March, linden opposing
Spain's and BraziPs demand for per-
manent representation.
1t had been expected the three
might get together for private discus
sion and agreement.
The Spanish delegates message
that he would not attend created a
sensation here.
1t is the first meeting which he
has not attended since the League
was founded.

BRAND Arrives
Premier BRAND of France arrived
at noon and Immediately conferred
with Sir Austin Chamberlain, Brit
ish foreign secretary.
Private manufacture of war ma
terials is on the agenda for discus
sion by the council this week.
Desire to avoid friction with the
United States Government has
caused leaders Of the league council
to express hope that the Tacna.
africa dispute in South America will
not be brought before the league.
The extreme difficulty in finding a
solution to this boundaries question
which has been sore spot between
Chile and Peru for so many years,
is another reason for the Leagues
desire to avoid it.
Tacna-Arica is looked upon here
as purely American problem.
Should the present arbitration efforts
of the United States fail, numerous
League members may propose that,
Chile and Peru place the disputed
territory in the hands of all South
Am erican states for final disposition.
