 Allies Favor Germany.
 The allied statesmen and some Of the other leaders have agreed that the hour is so critical for the league and for Europe that II must definite ly be decided whether the intrcsts of international cooperation and pcace will best he served by keeping Germany out of the league or by losing tho membership of Spain and Bra2lh
 Thrrc ycrdict vas that il was more logical 10 sacrifice Spain and Brazil if such hrramo tho unhappy un necessity than to sacrifice Germany
 Wrn-inCormod circles not connect td with either tue allied or German delegations said negotiations were going on with the Germans to give Poland nnn- permanent soat, out they denied current reports that the allies or the Germans were trying 10 find a formula whereby Spain and Brazil would certainly be admitted 10 permanent seats al a later day.
 Anxious Moments
 The delegates of 46 nations, mem hers of the League of Nations to. day concentrated their attention on the conference between the German delegates and the representatives Of other signatories of the Locarno pact who are endeavoring 10 iron out the badly crumpled situation arising
 
 membership In the league and the claims of four other nations to permanent seat in the league coun- Gil if Germany Is admitted 10 1t
 Fear was expressed that all the hopes cnEendered in the Locarno ac- cords and all the dreams of interna- tional cooperation embodies in the League Of Nations would be in dire peril should these statesmen not be able to reach an agreement on the problem of the reorganization of the council.
 Brazil, Spain, Poland and China still were maintaining their rights to permanent seats, while the Germans chung tenaciously to their argument that Germany alone should be given chair.
 &Sweden Enters Fray
 Geneva spent another anxious night, realizing that the arguments between NJ. linden of the Swedish delegation and Sir Austen Chamber lain, the chief British delegates over the actuaJ happenings at yesterdays nbortiye session of the council which vas endeavoring 10 solve the ugly situation, had not tempered the cri- sis. Swedish circles accused Sir Austen of having charged NJ. linden with endangering the very life Of the League Of Nations by his stolid attitude against enlargement of the council aside from giving Germany membership. Sir Austen later in q statement denied that he had used menacing language toward M. Unden.
 The Swedish spokesman's version Of the incident was that Sir Austen had hcatedly tried to intimidate NJ. Endcn to withdraw from his stand so that the allies could confront Germany today with the powerful argument that every member of the council had advocated a further in- crease in the permanent chairs. MT. Chamberlain's statement declared that he neither menaccd nor sought 10 cocrco NJ, linden; he merely had used iustiiable persuasion and en- deavored 10 induce the Swedish for eign minister 10 abandon q position which he deemed uutcnable.
 Some of the delegates were so pessmistic prior 10 today's confer cnce between tho Rhine pact sigma tories today that they predicted 8 collapse of all negotiations. A tenl- cious minority, however, optimisti- cally forecast q solution at the last moment, hasing this view chiefly on a conviction that neither Sir Austen Chamberlain, Premier Briand, Dr, Luther nor Dr. Strcsemann would risk wrocking their roputations for big statesmanship, acquired at To- rarno, or hazard destroying the To- carno pacts. which means so much for F,urOpr.
