LONDON, December 9,

The Australian Press Association's Geneva correspondent roports that Poland continues to monopolise the Council's activities, and it is no,wonder that comment is heard in tho lobbies that the League seems to exist for the sole purpose of settling Poland's disputes with her neighbours. While Jonkheor Loudon was occu-. pied all day examining documents-bear-ing on the Polish-Lithuanian situation and preparing a report concerning the matter, the Council was again occupied with Poland's demands for rights of anchorage for her warships in the Port of Danzig. Following on a report from the Chilean, Villegas, and the urgent recommendation from the Council, the disputants agreed to endeavour to draw up an agreement based on tho rules of ..international law, under which it will be possible for Polish vessels to be granted the desired facilities. The Council decided, to submit the thorny question of •German minority schools in Polish Silesia to the Hague Court. It is now thought that while the Council's intervention in the Pol-ish-Lithuanian dispute will bo directed to a resumption of more normal relations, it is most unlikely that the League will interfere regarding the severance of Consular and diplomatic relations in view of the fact that a.similar, state of affairs is not unknown among the Great Powers. Marshal Pilsudski, Premier of Poland, is expected to arrive to-day.
