Germany
Admission
to League
Certainty
International Capital Is
Thronged With Diplo
mats, Watching Ac
tions of the League
GENEVA, Sept. 4 (Unit-
ed Press) This international
capital was thronged with dip
lomats of all degree and many
languages tonight as prepara
tions were made for the sev
enth annual meeting of the
al society. .
League of Nations assembly
during which if all goes
well Germany, the ex-enemy,
will be admitted to member
ship in the league.
What is presumed to have been
the last obstacle to German entry
to the league was removed today
when the league council decided to
recommend to the assembly that a
permanent council seat be created
for the newcomer. Thns the coun
cil hopes to see consummation of
last autumn's Locarnor agreement
for peace and security In which
the principle European nations
pledged to Uo their .utmost 1q pre-j
veat war s breeding ground in Eur
ope from breeding further wsr.
The council also decided to rec
rmmend that the assembly create
three new non-permanent council
seats. These two decisions stone
would make the assembly - session
which begins Monday, potentially
the most important In league his
tory. It appears the German adhesion
to the league has been won only
at the cost of losing Braxil and
perhaps Spain from the internation
al aoclety.
