Aggressor Geneva, Sept. 29.
The Council of the League of Nations met this morning in secret session in another attempt to draft a resolution on the present dispute between China and Japan.
Late last night a formula was agreed to between the Belgian delegate and M. Politis, of Greece, who are expert at drafting formulas to meet difficult situations. When the draft resolution came before the Council, however, strong objection was taken to it.
"The resolution had been drafted to meet the arguments of the Belgian delegate that only the Assembly was entitled to condemn Japan's act of aggression, and that it was not for the Council to pass a resolution containing such a condemnation.
Contrary to the view taken by M. Paul Boncour, (France) M. Litvinoff (Soviet Russia) and Dr. Wellington Koo (China), who contended that the Council was entitled to take such action, no agreement was reached and the Council was adjourned until after a meeting of the Assembly, when another effort would be made to reach an agreemant.—Reuter, Australian Premier Sees Hopes for Peace resent 20 TER "Me Canberra, Sept. 29.
