Netherlands: by Premier Paul van

Foreign Ministers Confer.
Force was added to Sanders decla-
ration by the fact that he came here
almost directly from conference with
the foreign ministers of Norway and
Denmark. II was reported, without
confirmation, that the Scandinavian
statesmen would recommend their
governments resign from the League
OF Nations if the League fails to make
good in this Italo-Ethiopian crisis.
Premier van leland told the Assem-
bly, Belgium had decided to go the
limit in taking part in the common
responsibility of League members.
Many delegates attached deep sig
niflcance to this statement, since Bel
GUM is an ally of France.

Premier Laval of France authorized
the issuance of denial by the press
