Ooincidentally, diplomatic offi- ' cials acted upon a formal German protest against an alleged insult to a Nazi flag, stripped by l. mov from the liner Bremen in N w York harbor. Upon receipt of e protesting note from the German embassy, the department relayed its content to Governor Lehman of New York. To Take Action Almost immediately came word from Mayor Lagunrdia. of New York that those involved in the flag incident "will be prosecuted." In answer to a letter from four leading Jewish organizations. lot- ing Secretary Phillips declared that Americans considered rc- ligious freedom and liberty of con- most fundamental principles of our civilization and politiculfaith" and were sympa- thetic to the maintenance of those concepts in all countries. He added he could "fully under- stand" the solicitude regarding the "experiences which these (religious) groups are reported to be suffering in Germany."

While Premier Laval of France and Anthony Eden. British for League of Nation Affairs, were speeding toward Geneva in the secrecy of a private compartment, informed observers appeared more and more convinced the solution for the grave crisis rests on the shoulders of Great Britain and France, An imposing delegation from Italy, headed by Baron Pompeo Aloisi, special league of Nations delegate and personal representa- tive of Premier Mussslini was en- route from Rome, while Geneva was filled with a. tense air of ex- pectancy, for rarely has a. league crisis involved such important issues as are at stake in tomorrow's meeting.

Both the Italian and Ethiopian representatives 0n the commission of conciliation and arbitration are now here. The fate of this com- mission will be closely linked to the final solution of the problem. Whether or not the deadlock exist- ing in the arbitration commission can be broken by the appointment of a. fifth member, is believed to be the real subject between the British and French statesmen.
