Geneva, December 3.-Tne possibility or again bringing before tine preent assem- ply of the League of Nations the entire question of amendments to the covenant or the League of Nations will be dis cussed at special meeting of the steer ing committee called by Paul Hymans, chairman of the assembly, for Monday morning according to a statement made by Honorio Pueyrrelon, of the -Argen- tine delegation, to The Associated Press today
 M. Pueyrredon said that calling of the meeting was the result of the feeling among many of the delegations which had developed by reason of the decision of the assembly to delay the discussion of the question amendments until next meeting. Several South American coun- tries already had requested that their vote in the premises be recorded with that of Argentina, he added.
 Nj. Pueyrredon denied a report from Buenos Aires to the effect that Argen- tina was considering withdrawing from the league because of the decision oi the assembly not to discuss amendments proposed by M. Pueyrredon and others.
 NEEDLESSLY EXCITED
 M. Pucyrredon expressei the beief that Argentina may have become needlessly excited over this move of the assembly and to have exaggerated it's importance. No such step as a withdrawal was be- ing contemplated by Argentina NJ. Pueyrredon continued, but he said he still felt that the assembly had delayed for months the most vital question for which it was called together.
 The discussions in the assembly have provoked considerable criticism especially among the small nations. and NJ. Fly mans effort to bring up the matter again is regarded by M. Pueyrredon and other delegates as move to anticipate the satisfy Argentina. General discussion of the whole question of amendments to the covenant probably will come up before the present assembly adjosirns.
 BIG PROGRAMME HALTED
 The tala.slns nave asAe1 the League of Nations to free them from sSSpanish rule; the Montenegrins repeated they are appealing to the council and assembly for the independence Of their country aad for relief from alleged cruelties of Ser ban troops of occupation and among the almost innumerable odds and ends in the league mail are demands for a revision of the treaty of Sevres. These and minor complications are preventing the council of the assembly from pushing ahead with the big programme of the present league.
 Meantime. the financial committee of twelve. appointed to continue the work of the Brussels financial conference, has been diligently working out 2 plan for an international credits institution. This committee took the rough sketch of the plan prepared by the Brussels confer ence as starting point for it's work. After twenty add sttings here, it has vir- trally completed the draft of the plan which will be submitted to the council in q few days. Announcement of this pro- gross toward a practical solution of one of the worlds greatest problems is hailed with the greatest satisfaction by mary delegates who had acquired the impression that the council was permit ting the recommendations of the Brus- sels conference to rest in pigeon holes.
