GENEVA, Jan. 25 (Py.-The Council
Of the League of Nations assemblies
for its Tooth meeting tomorrow, faced
by two touchy problems-the question

smaller powers that sanctions shall
no longer be mandatory in practice.
Action on China's appeal against
incursion by Japan, League circles
declared, would be limited to words,

Of Ethiopia.
