Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Feb. determination of
the league of nations, as favored
thus far by the committee preparing
the draft, promises to be similar to
the constitution of the United States,
according to an outline given The
United Press today by Professor Fer
dinand Larnaud, one of the French
members of the committee.
An executive committee will lead
the league, instead of a president
and its power VIII exceed those Of
the American chief magistrate. Under
the executive committee come the
judicial and legislative branches.
The executive and judicial bodies
will sit permanently, while the legis-
lative will gather annually unless
specially convoked.
Limited armament for all member
nations has been approved, Larnaud
said. Land and sea forces will be
controlled by the league, except in
the case of domestic matters.
Disputing nations will be summon
ed before the league. tribunal. In the
event nation refuses to abide by
the judiciary's ruling and ignores all
other attempts at effecting a settle
ment it is planned to allow the dis
putants to fight. Apparently. the
opinion is held that by the time the
judiciary hands down its findings
sufficient airing will have been given
