 New Deal Not Popular
 From a westerner who held high office under former administra- tion:- There is an undercurrent among Republicans that the next Republican candidate for Presi- dent should be a safe and sane compromise between the old-fash- toned standpatter and the extreme liberal of the Borah or Norris type. The new deal does not seem to be very popular in this state. How ever, it is too soon to assume that President Roosevelt has lost the major part of his following here '

(As '9ciafod Pres, Foreign Staff)
 The League of Nations, formed to maintain peace throughout the world, faces perhaps it's greatest test today when the League council meets to investigate claims that Germany has violated the military clauses of the treaty of Versailles the same treaty which formed the League itself,
 France called for the special council session, passing it's call on Article II of the League covenant, by which it is declared to be the friendly right of each member of the League to bring the attention of the assembly or of the council any circumstances whatever affect- ing international relations which threaten to disturb international peace or the good understanding between nations upon which peace depends"
 As a result of this call, the repre- sentatives of IA nations-forming the eouncil-are to meet at Ge- neva. These nations are France, Great Britain, Italy, Soviet Russia, Poland, Mexico, Czechoslovakia,i Ar gentina, Denmark, Chile, Australia, Spain, Turkey, and Portugal. Tevfik Rustu Aras, foreign minister of Turkey, is president of the council.
 Germany Still Member
 Germany, herself, is eligible to sit in the council session as she is member of 1t. Although she has given notice of her intention to withdraw from the League and has taken no official part in its delib- erations for some time, her resigna- ton does not become effective un- til October 19 of this year. There is no indication. however, that she will take advantage of her right to hear the official airing of Frances charges since Reichsfuer- her Hitler opposes Germany taking part in League activities until his demands for her treatment as an equal shall have been met.
 Other Nations Invoke Article
 This is not the first time Article Il has been invoked by worried na- tions. China used it, as well as other articles. in calling league at- tention to Japan's activities in Manchuria leading to the creation 'of Manchukuo. Japan resigned from the League as the result ol
