it had been expected generally in league circles 10 have considerable influence on President Bernardes and Foreign Minister Pacheco. Mel. lo-Franco was even quoted by some ct the Latin-Anericans as having said that Brazil could, with dignity, bow to the expressed will of fellow Latin American lands, whereas 1t might bd difficult for her to yield to pressure from the league council,
 Brazil Not Alone,
 Under these circumstances some ot the assembly delegates teit that there must have been other strong reasons for the council arranging to postpone Germany's election. and that the blame should not be center CT on Brazil alone. On tho other hand Mcllo-Franco was criticized personally. it being alleged that he had fostered the deadlock and made it difficult for his government to moderae its position,
 Calm, but with a feeling that they had been keenly humihated, was the attitude Of the German delegation this morning. They had been bid den to Geneva after long months of imploring and felt that they must return to Berlin unless the unexpcct- cd happened without having baen able to enter the portal Of the inter- national peace institution. They ad- mitted there would be considerable criticism Tn Germany over their hav- ing stayed so long in Geneva, but they were Of the opinion that their stay was justified. because it had re- suited in clearing fresh difficulties with the allies over the changing Of the makeup Of the council, particu- iarly the plan to elect Poland simul- tancously with Germany.

 In Berlin general satisfaction is expressed over the communication os the Locarno pact signatories that the pacts will remain in force. This is taken as proving that Germany is in no way to blame for the troubles at the conference in Geneva. There was no surprise in government cir cles when IL was learned that the league assembly was about to ad- journ without electing Germany to membership in the league and that Germany would have to wait until September to become a member.
 From Rome comes a report deny ing that Italy had backed Brazil Tn her fight for a permanent seat In the council. Italy. it was asserted. vas loyalty supporting the spirit ot Locarno and had no intention Of in- ,erfering with the attitude of any power. especially Brazil. with whose policy Italy had nothing in common.
