...entry. The Swiss Government, strongly conservative, grew so excited that Swiss reporters at Berne conjectured fantastically, "If Russia is admitted we may resign and the League may have to move out of Switzerland." It took M. Barthou, Sir John and the Italian Chief Delegate, tall, hollow-cheeked Baron Pompeo Aloisi, about 24 hours to get the drafting work going quietly forward again in hotel rooms without protest...
...most that could be done was to organize, if possible, a joint rebuke to Poland by the three Great Powers now dominating the League. France, Britain and Italy. Overnight M. Barthou sought the co-operation of Sir John and Baron Aloisi. The Frenchman's role was exquisitely delicate, for should he himself crack down too hard on Colonel Beck, Poland might take such offense as to cast her vote in the League Council against admitting Russia, and the Council can act only by unanimity.

To reenforce his 1,100 police, many of whom have been bribed by one faction...
...Chairman Arthur Henderson, Premier MacDonald and M. Paul-Boncour (see cut)-was said to be ready to press the same threat again. Anxiously Mr. Davis, Sir John and M. Paul-Boncour hurried to Geneva where they were joined by Il Duce's handyman in foreign affairs, Baron Pompeo Aloisi, and began negotiations with Germany's Foreign Minister Baron von Neurath and Minister of Propa ganda Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels when they arrived from Berlin. Officially the Disarmament Conference will not reconvene in Geneva until Oct. 18, but unofficially it began with the arrival...
