FRENCH WANT SECURITY
League Convention In London Takes
Up Tint Problem.

London. March 1.-THE league of
nations societies in convention here to-
day considered amendments proposed
by the French for greater guarantees
of security. These consisted of pro-
posaIs for fixing the limitation OF
amendments and providing a perma-
nent body to foresee and prepare mill
tary measures necessary to assure the
fulfillment OF obligations to the league.
The chief objection to these amend
meEts comes from the Americans Ac-
cording to one of the American dele
cation, they are agreeable to giving
the French guarantees so long as they
do not make demands which interfere
with the United States constitution,
They wish to preserve the right for
the American congress to decide when
the United States shall make war.
