Germany Cannot Sit with Soviet Delegate Berlin, Sept. 23.
Informed quarters here state that the German Government will decline the invitation addressed to it by the League of Nations' Secretariat to be represented on the Advisory Committee on the Sino-Japanese conflict, Germany, it will be recalled, was represented on a similar committee set up in 1933.
Political circles here stress that Germany does not desire to take part in the deliberations of a body to which she is opposed in principle and which includes persons like the Valencia Premier, Dr. Juan Negrin, who have publicly insulted the head of the German Reich. it is furthermore pointed out that Germany will abstain from taking part in the Geneva negotiations to avoid being involved in consultations with Soviet diplomatic representatives which would imply an impossible co-opera tion with them.—Trans-Ocean.
