Geneva, Oct. 28.
M. Marcel Boden, Chef clu Cabinet of the League of Nations Secretariat since the appointment, in July, 1933, of M. Joseph Avenol as Secreary-General, has resigned his post at the request of M, Avenol.
This step, it is believed heralds a further "purge" of those League of Nations officials who hold Leftist views and who do not confirm M.
Avenol's advocacy of reform of the League Covenant.
M. Avenol is a strong adherent of the Munich Agreement and ie credited with being in sympathy with those circles in London and Paris who are seeking to reform the Cov-tenant in the sense desired by totalitarian Powers This attitude has caused a rift between M. Avenol and M. Boden, and the split in the League Secretariat, based on their respective alignments, is likely to result in the retirement of those of M. Hoden's way of thinking—Reuter.
