Poland is bound through its minority treaty, not only to the great European powers, but also to the United States, The London Times declared today in a dispatch from Geneva which emphasized that the various delegations at the League of Nations expressed the gravest concern over Colonel Beck’s sensational statement.

The entire question, The Times said, will come up shortly before the Sixth Commission of the League, which will examine the treaties and the implications inherent in the Polish refusal to cooperate with the League in carrying out the minority treaties.

It is expected that one of the High Contracting Parties will make a declaration on the subject, probably Sir John Simon, British Foreign Secretary, The Times said.

Poland’s declaration and the entire affair have no precedent in League annals, The Times emphasized.
