ADVERSE CUSTOMS
PACT VERDICT SEEN
Geneva Expects Germany to
Make Contemporaries
of Larger Scope.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

DS SaDic W Inc CldT.
GENEVA, Switzerland. September I
The sixty-fourth session OF the
Council Of the League of Nations
opened today with the big business on
hand of killing something that is al
ready dead-the Austro- German Gus
toms union
The verdict of The Hague court on
that scheme has been held up until
September on account of the techni-
cal details in drafting and releasing the
text The German delegation will i'm
mediately present counter proposals on
a larger scale If the verdict, as is
generally expected, is adverse. These,
it is thought, will include a proposal
for 10 per cent tariff cut in all Eu-
rope, with progressive regional agree
mentS to replace a limited customs
union.
The Austrian delegation. 1t is said
will voluntarily" renounce the customs
un>on plan before The Hague verdict
comes. Two hundred million shillings
$4,000, 000) have been regranted to
Austria in renewed credits on the I'M
accept The Hague verdict quietly.
VIII Leave Reich Free to Act.
The verdict itself, even though almost
surely negative, will be very carefully
phrased to let Germany and Austria of
as easily as possible. The verdict, it is
said, will base its objections to the pact.
not on the treaty of st. German, but
on the Geneva protocol, wherein Aus
tria, on getting a new loan, promised
not to jeopardize its independence.
Freedom of action to Germany to
make now proposals is thus more or
less assured.
If, upsetting ali the dope, the verdict
should approve the union, then politi-
cal action by the Council to kill it may
be expected.
Six Topics Are Important.
AS usual during League sessions, most
of the work will not be done in the
formal sessions, whose agenda is very
sparse this year, but in private CONVEX
sations among the delegates. The fol-
lowing topics are of paramount interest
/. The Franco-Soviet non-aggression
pact, which is initiated but not signed.
and which France wants to enlarge to
include Poland and perhaps Rumania.
2. Franco-Italian naval conversations
whereby the London fVe-power treaty
may finally be completed.
3. Jockeying for position in the forth
coming world disarmament conference
and the choice Of new president II
Arthur Henderson Of Great Britain is
forced to resign. y
4. The fantastic proposal of Count
Coudenhove Kalergi, whereby a tunnel
may be built under the Polish corridor
with the end OF returning Danzig to
Germany and perhaps ending Ger
many's agitation for revision OF its
eastern frontier.
S. Financial aid for the suffering
state of Central and Southeastern
Europe, chieAH Hungary, Bulgaria and
perhaps Rurnania
6. General projects for European
economic elaboration. vague as al
ways, by lowering tariff barriers.
