‘Wo’rlquroblA'emsargv Subject Of Council Discussion Sanctions And Mandates To _- Be Under Fire] The collegiate model of the 96th session of the Council of the League of Nations convenes today to work on a comprehensive and timely agenda. Discussion of this agenda will undoubt-. | - Agenda For Model Cohncil edly\ be spirited and lively. When the report regarding the application of sanc- tions to date in the Italian-Ethiopian dis- pute is put before the Council, Ethiopia, a member of the League but not repre- sented on the Council, will be called to' the table as an interested party. Since . Italy is a member of the Council and since pther Council members have hither- to ekpressed their feelings strongly in this matter, diplomatic circles are eager- ly awaiting the outcome. , Many problems have arisen since the introduction of the mandate system af- ter the World War, No little interest has been aroused in anticipation of the discussion by the session of the Council of the threereports regarding mandated ter- ritory. Sundry rumors prevail as to the probable decisions of the, Council con- cerning therights of non-members of the League in mandated territory. Any: ac- tion taken by the Council will be pertinent since Japan, although withdrawn from the League of Nations, now enjoys all : the privileges in mandated territory that she did as a League member. Few sessions of the Council have not| had to copewith some problems dealing with minorities. This Model Council will consider the situation of the Alban- ian Catholic minorities who claim that they havebeen deprived of the privileges | accorded Albanian Nationals and guaran- teed to them by Albania on October 2, 1921 upon heradmission to the League of Nations. Albania, who like Ethiopia is a League member but not one of the 14 countriesrepresented on the Council, will be called to the table when this question is discussed.
