COUNCIL OF LEAGUE
ADJOURNS MEETING
Four Problems on Way to
Solution After Session
at Geneva.
By. the Associated Press.

by. tne AssOc1dteo ETess.
GENEVA, December 12.-With four
international problems, including the
Polish. Lithuanian controversy, on the
way to settlement as a result of it's
deliberations, the forty-eighth session
of the Council of the League of Ma
tions adjourned this morning to meet
in March,.
To the very end, it is felt in League
circles. spirit of mutual concession
by the governments in the interest of
securing accords on the various prob.
lems dominated the deliberations of
the Council.
May Meet i'm Rome.
Ohicials said that no arrangements
to convene the March session at Rome
have been made. although Rome has
been suggested in some quarters as
offering way of bringing about a
meeting Of Foreign Minister BRAND
Of France and Premier MussoIini with.
out making it necessary for the
French foreign minister to make a
special journey to Rome for the pur-
pose Of seeking an opportunity to
adjust Franco,Ita relati tons.
The French representa- ttves here
seem desirous of having the March
session In Rome and 1t il posslble that
conversations win take place among
the council members concerning this
within the next month or two.
The Polish h-Lithuanian dispute was
iiquidated by an anagreement Of the two
countries to enter into direct negotia.
tions with each other for the settle.
ment OF their differences and II Is
likely that conference soon will be
held at Riga. Latvia.
The ceaseless activities of two Latin
American members Of the council
Senor Urrutia, of Colombia and Senior
Vilegas of Chile. contributed to com,
promise settlement of two other vex.
ing problems. These were the request
OF Greece to be freed from obligation
to make full payment for the battle
cruiser Salamis contracted for in a
German shipyard before the war, and
the request of the free city Of Danzig
to have a Polish munitions depot
there either removed altogether or
placed: under partial control Of Dan.
zig.
Indemnity for Bulgarians.
The battle cruiser question was re
ferred to mixed arbitral body for
solution with the understanding that
an advisory opinion may be asked OF
the World Court Of Justice as to the
question whether Germany is pre-
vented from exporting war material
contracted for before the war. Greece
maintains that Germany is so pre-
vented and has refused to take pos
session of the battle cruiser. Today
however, Greece agreed to abide by
the decision of the arbitrators.
The Polish depot problem will be
regulated by local conference al
Danzig, both Poland and the free city
informing the council that they will
accept the result Of this conference.
Still another question which was
amicably liquidated was the indemni
fication of Bulgarians who left Greece
for Bulgaria, the property affected
totaling about $34,000,000. Both
Greece and Bulgaria agree to accept
the rulings Of mixed commission.

near the Italian frontier. How quickly
