.DR. LOWELL CHIEF SPEAKER DURING LEAGUE SESSION

Atlanta, Ga, February 2S.-Rec-

 council of the league of nations
 would not necessarily he binding
 on the nations members of the
 league. Dr. A. Lawrence Lowell,
 President of Harvard university,
 said here tonight addressing the
 Southern Congress for the League
 of Nations.
 Dr. Lowell, the principal speaker at the night session, referred to an ad- dress today in the Senate by Senator Lodge in which the Massachusetts senator warned the American people to carefully weigh the constitution or the league, said it should be made clear whether the recommendations of the leagues executive council would be binding on the member nations
 q have the greatest respect for sen ator Lodge and have almost always agreed with his opinions" said pr. Low ell but find it impossible to follow his doubt in this case. The word rec ommend' as distinguishe from decide order or require would seem to have a perfectly definite meaning in common usage and in law. lt means making a suggestion for the consideration or some one else who is at liberty to ac- cept the recommendation or not. as he thinks proper
 ITO me it seems perfectly clear that this is what the delegates from the l4 nations who agreed to this report in tended, and if that was their intention. and the language really is capable or a different construction, no doubt they would be willing to make it clear.
 American Ideals and League or Nations" was the subject discussed by sneakers tonight. Besides Dr. Lowell they included Dr. Anna Howard ohaW and cant. Thomas G. Chamberlain, U. $. A., of San Francisco.
 The congress, which opened today with delegates from over the southeast will continue through tomorrow. For mer President Taft, who spoke today in favor of the league of nations. Will be the chief speaker again tomorrow night.
