GERMANS MAY ASK
RECALL Of TROOPS
Newspaper Demands This of
League-Spain's Role Still
in Doubt.
BY the Associated Press.


GENEVA, September 9-with Ger.
many now a member Of the League
Of Nations and entitled to sit in the
council of the League on terms of
equality with the big four-Great
Britain, France. Italy and Japan
her delegates today were on their
way to Geneva to participate in the
Leagues activities.
Headed by DR.. Gustave Stresemann,
the Reich foreign minister, and hav-
ing among its members Count Won
Bernstorff. former ambassador to the
United States. the delegation is ex-
pected to assume it's duties tomorrow.
The attitude of Spain toward the
League still served today to intrigue
every one in Geneva. 1t was asserted
that no communication had been re-
ceived from Madrid announcing
Spain's resignation, or a policy of
aloofness because of the declinatiOn
to give Spain permanent seat In
the council.
Council Debate Continues.
The matter Of the reorganization of
the council is still to be discussed by
the assembly, and it is held that Spain
would be acting in a logical manner
should she withhold officially dis
patching her resignation until the
assembly debate has terminated.
1t is considered likely that the Eu
ropean statesmen will endeavor tc
have Spain and Brazil retain their ad
herence to the League. At yesterday
session Of the assembly, Francisco
Urrutia Of Colombia voiced the hope
that the two countries would continue
in the future to keep within the fold.
Germany's entrance is expected 10
cause controversies, but one League
official remarks: 1T Is better to battle
with words than bullets.
Advices from Berlin indicate that
the election Of Germany has failed to
arouse enthusiasm on the part OF the
newspapers, except the Nationalist
press.
Wants Troops Withdrawn.
The Boersen Zeitung says Germany
has Joined the circle ''as an infamous
partner. who still has policeman sta
toned in his house" The Deutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung demands that all
troops of occupation leave.
The committee of the World Court
conference. which is discussing the
problem of American adherence to
the court. has encountered deadlock
on an American reservation which
means that the council of the League
may not ask the court for advisory
opinions on questions in which the
United States is interested without
obtaining the consent Of the United
States.
The difficulty in the committee
seems to be whether the council in
asking for advisory opinions must vote
by Majority or by unanimity.
The United States desires the power
of veto. and it seems the only way
to satisfy that country would be to
amend the covenant so that even If
the majority rule existed the United
States still would enjoy the right of
an effective veto.
Many I'm L. S. for League.
Millions of citizens of the United
States have sympathetic hearts and
minds which approve of the great
work the League of Nations is carry
ing on" Sir George Foster Of Canada
declared in an address before the
League assembly today.
