Presbyterians to Pass Upon North
 and South Union

Charlotte. N C., May 22-The Southern Presbyterian general as- scmbly, which convened here Thurs day, closed the week tonight with most of the reports on file, organi- zation and routine work completed and the foundation laid for taking up Monday the questions of greater interest to the more than 3OO,O0O Presbyterians in the 15 Southern states represented
 The third day closed tonight with a popular meeting in the interest of the work of the executive committee on Christian education and minister ial relief.
 An official visit to Davidson Col lege displaced the afternoon session today and resulted in postponements of action upon the question of union of the northern and southern Presby- terian church. A new plan for the proposed union, submitted by the Southern members of the joint com mittee, makes the following provis- ions:
 "The doctrinal basis of the United assembly shall be the scriptures of the old and new testaments acknowl- edged as the inspired work of God and the only infallible rule of faith and practice, with the common sys- tenn of doctrine as set forth in the existing stanadrds of the constituent churches.
 "The principles of the forms of government and the constitutions, in- cluding the terms of doctrinal sub scription of the several churches building, are recognized as a part of the basis of union:
 "The directories of worship of the several churches shall be part of the basis of union to the extent that congregations shall have the same freedom of worship, both as to forms and usages, under the united assem- bly, as they had before the union."

ENGLAND WILL. NATION ALIZE
 ITS RAILWAYS

LONDON, Aug. 12 (by Associated Press).-The governments railway program, intended as an alternative to naturalization of the roads, which are now subsidized, provides for the formation of the railways of England and Wales into six groups, the main groups to absorb all the smaller lines. Present shareholders are to form the majority of each board of manage ment, but each board is to also in- clude members elected from and by the workers on the railway. Direct competition between the groups is eliminated.
 The government financial guarantee ceases and rates and fares are to be fixed, with certain safeguards for the public, so as to produce net revenue substantially equivalent on some pre- war basis to the net revenue of all companies absorbed in the groups.
 The state is to take a share of sur plus revenues and use it ''for light railway development"
 Wages and working conditions will be dealt with by machinery set up under the control of the transporta- tion ministry. The National Wages Board for Appeals is to represent equally railway managers, workers, and ushers, with an independent chair man. The state will have the power to insist upon standardization of roll ing stock and equipment.
 A seventh group will control the Scottish lines. The program, issued by Sir Eric Geddes, minister of trans port as a white paper, will be sub- mitted to parliament in new trans port bill In case the amalgamation is not carried out voluntarily the gov ernment will seek power to compel amalgamation within a specified time.
 Sir Fries proposals generally are re- ceived with editorial disapproval by the newspapers. The Daily News says the proposals raise all the difficulties inherent in naturalization without conferring any of it's benefits s.''

WILL REGISTER AND PUBLISH
 ALL TREATIES

LONDON, Aug. 12 (by Associated Press) Sir James Eric Drumond, secretary-general of the League of Nations, has just notified the mem- bers of the League of Nations that an office for the registration and publi- cation of treaties has been set up in accordance with the terms of the mem- orandum approved by the council of the League of Nations at it's meeting in Rome in May, A statement issued from the secretary-generars office says:
 Article IS of the covenant of the League of Nations reads: Every treaty of international engagement en- tered into hereafter by the League shall be forthwith registered with the secretariat and shall as soon as pos sible be published by it. No such treaty or international engagement shall be binding until registered
 And the council of the League. Of Nations declared in it's memorandum of May 19, 1920: Publicity has fol a long time been considered as source of moral strength in the ad- ministration of national law. It should equally strengthen the laws and en- agreements which exist between na- tions. It will promote public distrust and conflict. Publicity alone VIII enable the League of Nations to ex- tend a moral sanction to the contrac- tual obligations of it's members. It will. moreover, contribute to the for nation of a clear and indisputable system of international law
 "A treaty will have legal existence after it has been presented for regis tration by the parties concerned, to whom a certificate of registration will be- delivered.
 sTn addition, in a second register, a page will be reserved for each treaty. All relevant information will be entered therein, signatures and notifications by the parties and ii necessary, subsequent accessions, or withdrawals.
 Certified extracts from this regis ter may be delivered to states, trib- unals or individuals concerned.
 "The treaties will not only be reg istered but also published. They will appear in special section of the Of ficial journal of the League of Nations, through which they may become known to all.
 Moreover the council of the League of Nations, actuated by the spirit of Article IS, has authorized the secre- tary-general to register and to publish treaties concluded between countries not members of the league, should they request it. The League of Ma tions, thus hopes to realize, within the limits of possibility the system of open international engagements.
