Proposal Is Rejected.
GENEVA, Dec. 3 (Associated Press.
Presentation and adoption Of resolu-
ton eliminating Article 10 from the cove
nant of the league of nations before the
end of the present session of the assembly
would occasion no surprise here. 1t was
declared in some quarters when the assem-
bly, began its meeting today. Assertions
were made that yesterdays decision OF the
committee on the admission of new states
which held in effect that Article 10 does
not guarantee the territorial integrity OF
anv member of the league represented the
view of a majority of the delegates at the
present meeting.
The eventual proposal to eliminate At
ticle 10 is somewhat compromised by the
General understanding that consideration
of all proposed changes should be post
poned until studied by a special commit
Tee This understanding. however, came
largely from the anxiety OF the delegates
not to precipitate revision until the attl-
tude of the United States under the new
government is known.
The chance of Brazil returning to her
place on the council IS considered excel
lent. but Greece, it is thought, will lose
her place.
4 definite plan for use of the economic
blockade against members of the league
breaking the covenant was unanimously
adopted by the sub-commission on block
AIDES. The members of the commission ex-
pressed the belief that the plan would give
the league an effective method against
offending members and would do much to
prevent serious international disputes
from developing into actual wars.
,IF-nE- inf
dent that the scheme would be ratified by
the full commission and later by the as
sembly of the league. Details of the plan,
will be published in a few days. \ pub
