Whether it is permissible for a member of the League of Nations to secede from international commitments will be deliberated by the League of Nations Council if Foreign Minister Beck of Poland persists in his attitude that Poland hereafter will refuse to be controlled by the League in her minorities administration, it became clear yesterday with the return to London of Sir John Simon, following his denunciation of Poland’s stand at Geneva.

Sir John came to London for the express purpose of consulting his government about Beck’s repeated defiant position, after Sir John had proffered a loophole whereby the Polish government might retreat from its previously asserted stand on the minorities question.
