American Bar Association President
Refutes Newspaper Reports

New York, Aug. 16.-The attention

Association having been called to state
ments in the press, chiefly in headlines,
to the effect that the American Bar As
sociation has approved the peace treaty,
including the League of Nations cove
nant, without amendments, the presi
dent of the association announces that
the statement is incorrect. The associa-
ton has at no time considered or passed
upon this question and is not commit
ted to any view of the present contro-
versy.
The news items upon which the erro-
ncous headlines have been based relate
to a majority report which was pre-
Sented TO the executive committee of the
association in Boston in September last
ard upon which the committee took no
action. The news items correctly state
that the majority report was signed by
