that course rather than that Of pro

Spain. Secretary Lansing refused to
discuss. although 1t is known that
the government has fun knowledge of
them, and 1t Is expected that salts
factory means will be found TO pre-
vent others.
The interna tional arms convention
in violation of which tho recent ship
mcnts have been made. is as yet an
unpublished document. 1t Is under
stood here that 1t was signed IN Paris
on September Il by the signatories to
the league covenant. and provides that
no nation which intends to become a
