|ALARM INCREASES
lin GERMAN DISPUTE
Drummond Departs Hurriedly
for Berlin to Confer
With Stresemann.
By Radio TO The Star and New York World

I By Radio TO The Star and New York World.
GENEVA. November 21.-SAppre.
hensiveness in League Of Nations cir
cles over the attitude of Germany
toward the League was increased to.
night when Secretary General Sir
Eric Drummond departed hastily for
Berlin to confer with Foreign Minister
Stresemann about serious problems
which will confront the council meet
ing December 6.
Drummond's Intervention became
inevitable after Stresemann's declara.
tions to the Reichstag that Germany
would insist upon fulfillment by the
allies of the Versailles disarmament
pledges or removal Of the military.
naval and aerial restrictions imposed
upon Germany, and that Berlin would
never recognize the permanency Of
the eastern frontiers.
Decision Broadens Problems,
Originally it was anticipated that
the only immediate issue facing the
council would be transfer of military
control OF Germany to a League com
mission.
The almost total eclipse Of the
Thoiry program Of Stressemann and
Foreign Minister BRAND Of France,
alter Brands return to Paris, and
the restiveness OF the Saar districts
precipitated the trouble. Observers
here are recalling the significant ut
terance of German delegate to the
assembly. who remarked after Ger
manys admission: Now you have
won the bride. what assurance have
hof uhA L. x~viF 20
| And since Germany cannot be di-
vorced without disrupting the league
household, the allies will have to
| make the best of it." Likewise,
Lord Creil's cryptic comment to this
correspondence: Now our troubles
| are beginning"
Stresemann's recent bellicose atti-
tude. although viewed hopefully as
| matter for domestic political con-
| sumption, is not Enthusiastically re-
! ceived in Geneva, and Drummond is
| expected to advise strongly against
| undue impatience. Stresemann Is
due to sit as president over the De-
cember council, and will have
| splendid opportunity to make himself
| the political lion of Germany, but
| blundering may easily cause a dam
gerous crisis.
Solution of Issue Seen. =
Germany's insistence on carrying
I out the Versailles disarmament pro.
visions really is predicated on the
hope that the allies will remove the
restrictions placed upon her instead
of deliberately disarming themselves.
| The demand for League control over
investigation of the Rhineland prob
ably will be solved, although the
| French do not desire to abolish inter-
allied control.
However, the Supreme Council de-
clared Germany had fulfilled her in
| ternational obligations and given
guarantees of future behavior as a
preliminary to admission to the
| League, and Berlin Is refusing to take
| these admissions as empty phrases.
Stresemann's public attitude on the
Polish corridor and Silesia is giving
more concern than the occupied zone
issues. as the overoptimistic Thoiry
talk had been discounted in advance.
! At least seven foreign ministers are
| due next week for council committee
sessions on disarmament preceding
| the regular council meeting.
