Seldom has a British foreign minister found himself In such a difficult and embarasstng position as an important point of foreign policy as Sir Austen Chamberlain on the eve of the league of nations meeting at Geneva for the admission of Germany.. Into the league. The entire press without distinction of party joins In reproving his attitude on the question of the enlargement of the league council. While Sir Austen maintained silence, he was given the benefit of the doubt on bow far he might have committed himself to the French view on the admission of Poland, Spain and Brazil, but now the floodgates are loosened and friend and foe alike are loud in declaring that Great Britain cannot favor a policy which Is not only a negation of the Locarno agreement, but bad faith toward Germany. When the British foreign secretary, with Lord Cecil, starts for Geneva he can have no Illusions regarding the opinion of bis countrymen on the course he ought to pursue there. Only one opinion prevails, and that Is If at Locarno, or since any understanding was reached for the enlargement of the league council concurrently with Germanys admission, Germany should have been appraised of it The London Sunday papers characterize the coming week as the most grave and anxious time for the cabinet since the government took office. The dissatisfaction with the Chamberlain attitude a reflected in his recent speech, reached a point where for a time it was believed only his resignation was possible. Apparently Sir Austen himself heallzes the seriousness of his position and has allowed it to become known that he considers his speech has been misinterpreted. It Is understood that Premier Baldwin will try to relieve the tension by a statement to parliament. It Is doubtful, however, if he will definitely Indicate the British policy. It has become known that the cabinet discussed the question for seven hours and that still another cabinet council v 111 be hold, probably Wednesday, before final instructions are given to the British delegation. The Sunday Observer remarks: "Premier Baldwin has to avoid an Irreparable blow to the moral credit of the cabinet. According to the same paper, the foreign secretarys plan Is to attack the difficulty by the methods of Locarno; that Is, he will endeavor to have an Informal meeting with the German and other principal delegatee and arrange some general understanding before the formal proceeding opens next Monday. In this connection much attention is drawn to Spain's claim for a permanent seat. It Is thought it might be possible to Induce Germany to accept the Spanish claim as a compromise, provided It was distinctly understood that the claims of Poland should be postponed to a later date. This solution would require very delicate handling, for, although Germany might agree to it, It Is doubtful if France and Poland would give way. And even were tbe Spanish corapro-mic- e accepted. It is thought that China would Insist on her equal claim with Spain and fresh complications Myton.
