LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

DIFFICULT PROBLEMS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright. Geneva, Sept. 20. M. Jonescu has arrived. It is reported that he intends to combat Hungary’s admission to the League of Nations on the ground that she has not yet complied with the Treaty of Versailles. The Council of the League has decided to send back the entire dispute between the Poles and the Lithuanians to the Assembly. Mr. Balfour seconded Mr. Hymans' scheme that Vilna bo administered jointly. The scheme also suggested the division of Lithuania into cantonal federated. States, of which Vilna would be a separate canton, with a central Government at Kovno. It is stated that Poland, regarded M. Hymans’ report as only productive of endless discussion, while the ambitious General Zeligowsky, whose allegiance is uncertain, remained in possession of the disputed territory. It was intolerable for Europe that this ulcer should be allowed to exist. THE MANDATES. Received Sept. 21, 5.5 p.m. Geneva, Sept. 20. During the discussion regarding the A and B mandates by the Council of the League of Nations, Lord Robert Cecil demanded the issue of these mandates, saying it was unnecessary to wait longer for the United States, as her views were not fully known. Mr. A. L. Fisher strongly opposed this, saying the mandate negotiations between the United States and England had mow reached a delicate point where any by the Council would greatly embarrass England. Lo-d Robert Cecil therefore withdrew his proposal.—Aus.-N,Z. Cable Assn.
