LEAGUE MAY QUIT
SANCTIONS STAND
Each Member Likely to Be
Left to Make Own Deci-
sion as a Solution.
BY the Associated Press.

GENEVA, Jan. 27-Liberty Of
League members to make their own
decisions on sanctions today appeared
the probable solution by the League
of Nations Council to the problem
that had threatened to split it.
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden and French Foreign Minister
Yvon Delbos were to renew their gov
ernments' pledges of faith in the
League covenant tonight at the first
public meeting of this, the councils
Tooth session.
But Osten linden. Swedish dele.
gate, and Belgian Foreign Minister
Paul Henry Spaak, authoritative
sources said. had agreed to raise the
sanctions question only II general
debate developed from the declarations
Of faith.
The decision on sanctions was said
to have been made at a meeting of
delegates from the neutral" states
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Belgium,
The Netherlands and Switzerland
which have sought release from the
sanctions obligations Of the covenant.
Even Switzerland appeared con-
tented with the wide independence
of action left by the understanding.
Switzerland had been expected to
demand official recognition of its
complete neutrality" with respect to
the Leagues punitive article is.
Three other main questions before
the council apparently had been dis
posed Of thus:
/. The Rumanian-Jewish problem:
Postponed after indications that the
anti-Jewish attitude Of Rumanian
Premier Octavian Goga's government
would be less aggressive.
2. The Sanjak Of Alexandretta:
France agreed "in principle" with
Turkey over conducting elections in
the Sanjak (state) which was granted
autonomy last year, conceding
change in procedure to Turkey, ad-
jacent to Alexandretta.
3. Recognition Of Ethiopia: Dele
gates said it was not discussed and
probably would not be discussed by
the council The Netherlands, once
anxious for an understanding Of the
conquered empires status, appeared
to have dropped action.
