SANCTIONS QUESTION
OPTIONAL APPLICATION. URGED BY MEMBERS. LEAGUE DISCUSSION. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received February 1, 10.45 a.m. GENEVA, Jan. 31. At a meeting of the Committee of Twenty-eight, M. Unden (Sweden) advocated that Article 16 of the Covenant, which concerns sanctions, be optional instead of obligatory. M. Gorge (Switzerland), supporting the proposal, said that Switzerland today had two neighbours not members of the League and could not be expected to apply sanctions which would possibly expose her to great danger. She must, therefore, recover the neutrality, which she had lost in 1920 when she joined the League, hoping it would become universal. M. Rudgers (Holland) described Article 16 as dead and buried.
