LEAGUE’S TASK
INTERVENTION APPEAL POWERS IN DOUBT Situation Not Covered In Covenant Press Association—Copyright. Received 1 p.m. London, December 1. The Geneva correspondent of The Times says that the meeting of the League Council to consider the appeal of the Spanish Government to investigate German and Italian intervention" has been fixed for December 10. The agenda contains only a single item. The Spanish Government will ask the Council, in virtue of Article 11 of the Covenant, to examine the situation described in its telegram complaining of intervention, and this leaves the Council wide latitude for the interpretation of its task. But the situation is without precedent, and it is difficult to find any text in the Covenant that can be made exactly applicable to the case. The Council is sovereign if it can agree on a course of action, but unanimity or even a majority are likely to be difficult to secure, apart fom the fact that Portugal and Germany, though involved, are not members of the League, While Italy does not participate.
