ARTICLE TEN
WILL Be KEPT
Necessary Part Of Covenant"
Delegates Declare, in Dis.
cussing Abolition Plan.
BY NEWTON c. PARKE,
Interaatlsaal News Service.

GENEVA, Dec. S.--There was
every indication today that Article
x Of the covenant Of the League OF
Nations, which is the chief bar to
Americas entrance, will be retained
The assembly has shown that II
overwhelmingly favors retention of
Article x.
ARTICLE CALLED NECESSARY.
when the Canadian amendment kill
ing Article Ten was referred to q
committee which will not report un-
I'll next year. the assembly showed
its attitude in the membership COM
mittee where all the nations making
UP the League were represe nted.
Details Of discussions at the meeting
of this committee have just come to
light.
Lord Robert Cecil. representative
Of South Africa. proposed tho ad-
mission of Georgia and the Baltic
states, with a reservation that Ar
ttcie Ten did nor htQd the League to
guarantee their territory. DR.. Benes,
foreign ministcr of Czecho Slovakia:
DIR. Brantipg, of Sweden. and DR..
Karnabeke, Of Holland, opposed any
reservation. praising Article X as
"A necessary part Of the covenant"
Lord Robert Cecirs proposal was de-
feated.
U. .. CLAIMS GET SETBACK.
Americas claims regarding the
tribution OF the former German cables
have received a setback by the ap-
pointment OF Lord Robert Cecil, rep
reentative of South Africa, as chair
man OF the subcommittee on man.
dates, IL was generally admitted to-
day.
Lord Robert Cecil had already pro-
nounced In favor of practically un-
limited powers by mandatory states
over the countries for which they
held mandates, including special priv
ileges as to natural resources.
Both Lord Robert Cecil and Leon
Bourgeois OF France, hold Identical
views. and together they dominate
the subcommitte. The other delegates
represent smaller states. such as
Switzerland, thata have no vital in
terest in the mandate question.
CANADA IS DEFIANT.
A battle Of the New World against
Old World domination of the League
was opened when N. w. Eowell, OF
the Canadian delegation. in an impas-
stoned speech, warned the assembly
that Canada and other powers would
not yield to European control OF the
League Of Nations.
European craftsmanship drenched
the world with blood" cried the Cana
dian delegate. Fifty thousand in dead
was the price that Canada paid"
This declaration was made during
debate on the report on technical or
ganizations of the League. Rowell
expressed fears that, on account OF
the distance. non-European nations
would send first class diplomats, who
would gain control.
This statement was greeted with
applause.
