A third amendment proposed to
omit the word generally from the
following paragraph in Article XIII:
ternational law, as to the existence of
of any fact, which, if established,
would constitute breach of any in
ternational obligation, or as to the
extent and nature of the reparation
to be made for any such breach, are
declared to be among those which are
generally suitable for submission TO
arbitration"
The purpose is to make the obliga-
tion to resort to arbitration more alb
solute and precise.
The fourth amendment would per-
nit the council to authorize state in
he vicinity of another state against
which an economic blockade has been
enforced to maintain a certain degree
Of intercourse with the covenant
breaking state if this is considered
necessary by the council to prevent the
blocksded state from threatening OF
attacking its neighbor. 1t is con-
tended that some measure of freedom
should be allowed especially in the
base of smaller states where the full
filment Of the blockade obligation
wight lead to occupation of territory
lby the coyenant-breaking state.

SWEDES SUGGEST
AMENDMENTS TO
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. OF o u I
amendments to the covenant of the
League of Nations suggested by the
Danish, Norwegian and Swedish gov
ernments probably will be taken up
at the first meeting Of the Assembly
of the League at Geneva on Novem-
Der 10. They have already been sub
mitted to all members of the league
for study and require the approval
CT the council and majority vote of
the assembly to become effective.
One suggestion proposes fixed an
nual meeting of the assembly TO be
held either at the time provided for II
the rules of procedure or on a specific
date such as the second Monday II
September. 1t is also proposed thai
on the demand of 10 members of the
league special meeting Of the as.
sembly shall be called at any time.
Another proposal would regularize
the method of selecting the four non.
permanent members of the council. II
is suggested that the assembly, after
the first selections shall name a new
state each year to serve for a periot
# four years which shall not be sub
iect to reelection for the following
period. The purpose is to secure sue
cessive representation on the counci
Of a large number Of states while
making only one change in member

Quiet Investigation Is Being.
Made by City Officials
Plant Found to be in Fair
Shape; City Council anG
c. of G.. Both to Meet.

The city council and the cham
ber of commerce will both meet to-
night.
Chief among topics of interest
expected to come before the city
council is the question of the advis-
ability of purchasing the plant of
the defunct Imperial Valley Gas
Company.
1t is understood that the city dad.
have not appointed an engineer t
place a valuation on the property ye-
because of an anticipated expense :
$3.50 in this manner, and before sucf
an. expenditure is incurred they wisi
to know whether it is worth while.
Several of the city fathers have
been quietly digging up mains in diff
ferent sections Of the city to Sc;
what condition they are in.
The city fathers have already in
spected the plant of the COMPANY
and found it to be in fair shape, somc
Of the machinery in excellent condition
and other parts which will have t.
be replaced.
The much discussed garbage ques-
tion is also likely to come before the
council as well as the disposal of the
fire alarm system bonds, voted re
Gently. 1t is understood that there
will be buyer present this evening
to make an offer on the bonds.

FOREIGN TRADE
INCREASES SAYS
NEW YORK BANK

The foreign trade Of the United
States in the calendar year 1920 will
approximate $4,000, 100000 against
$11 1,000,000,000 in 1919, $9000,000,-
900 in 1918 and 1917, slightly less
than $8,OOO,OOO, 900 in 1916, a little
more than $4,000, 100000 in 1915, and
$4,277 100000 in 1913, the calendar
year Immediately preceding the war,
these figures being in very round
terms.
The expectation, says The National
City Bank of New York in discussing
this wonderful growth of United
State foreign commerce down to the
present moment, that we should wit
ness a fall off in our foreign trade
after the termination of the war has
not been realized. Both imports and
exports continue to grow, and the
total on both sides of the ledger will
be larger in the calendar ear 1920
than in any year since the beginning
of the war and several times as much
as in any year prior to the war. The
biggest imports in any calendar year
prior to the war were little less than
$4,000 100000, and will total $6,000,-
Ooo,oOo III Tic ,ycdI lCEU,
while exports, which never exceeded
2 l2 billion dollars prior to the war,
will be over $4,000, 100000 in 1920.
In certain details, however, the
trade record during and since the war
shows remarkable changes. We have
become large importers of certain
manufacturing materials, very large
exporters Of manufactures. We have
also increased greatly our importa-
tions of certain foodstuffs, but, on
the other hand, have greatly reduced
our exports of food; though in that
other agricultural product, manufac-
turing material, our exports show ma
terial increases. The imports, big as
they are, are about equally divided be.
tween the three great groups, food
manufacturing material, and manu-
factures, while on the export side
fcod forms about one-fourth of the
total manufacturing material another
fourth, and manufactures one-half OF
The grand total.
