 GENEVA, Dec. 4-Argentina dele gation's withdrawal from the league assembly today was the first reef slruck during the three weeks delib eration which had been going on with feassuring smoothness until it got into a log in the discussion of amendments Independence shown by Honorio fueyrredon, in voting against post bonement of consideration of the amendments and his breaking of the essembly's unanimity, with Senor Ve- iasquez of Paraguay, supporting him. were regarded as ominous of a stormy session, but the Argentine delegations extreme action in withdrawing was Eoexpected
 where were two currents of opinion tris evening. One if that the directing minds have too much neglected the feelings of the smaller powers and nave erred in opposing discussion of amendments; the other is that the Argentine delegation has been too precipitate in it's action
 There is no indication that the other south American delegations will fol- low the example of Argentine; most of them favor Pueyreedon's amend ments, but will not go to the extent of withdrawing if they are not taken into consideration.
 AAs CRNNANtO VI eAllA StAu lOudN n6 regretted that the Argentine delega- tion had found it necessary to take such radical action. He hoped the withdrawal would be only temporary. From another Latin American dele gation it was learned there is much feeling over the manner in which the South and Central American delega- tions have been treated. The sensi- tiveness characteristic of the Latin st taken into consideration in applying rules of the assembly, which are still lily defined and imperfectly under stood by the delegates. Several South Americans have considered themselves roughly treated.
 There is, moreover q marked senti- ment among smaller powers that they are not expected to take any conspicu- ous part.
 M. Hymans, president, has been in consultation with M Viviani of France and other delegates regarding the sit nation arising out of Pueyrredons let fer announcing withdrawal M. Hy- mans declined to make any statement before he placed the matter before the assembly.
 Argentina Delegates Note
 Senor Pueyrredon's note to M. Fly mans. informing the chairman that the Argentina delegation was leaving the assembly, refers to the vote of the as- sembly on the Scandinavian amend ments and says that after deeming il an imperious necessity to consider any amendments to the covenant at thi. session. he voted alone against post. ponement, desiring ''the irrevocable de. cision which I had the honor to an. accurately"
 He recalls that the invitation receive, by the Argentine republic announce, nounce to the assembly be interpretet amendments to the covenant would b taken up and that his government thel prepared projects which he summar ized in the assembly November F.
 Tt is necessary to distinguish anon amendments in general" the note add ed those that might have relation t the treaty of Versailles from those in tended to modify the covenant In tn noble object of guaranteeing humanit against war and assuring practice solidarity and equality among states.
 "All the amendments proposed by Al gentina are in the second categor, They are: Admission of all sovereig states; admission of all the smallt states, without the right to vote; con position of the council by democrat election: an international court wit obligatory jurisdiction.
 These projects were brought hel as Argentina's contribution; none them diminished the obligation of II members, none restricted, collective e fort. On the contrary, they give full, amplitude to the directing organizatic IA tend to fortify the league by asst T ting with it's work all civilized hl nanity."
 Will Be Judged by Acts
 The note asserts it is by acts u league will be judged and remarks:
 s'The members of the assembly W separate in a few days without haviI considered great constitutional Que lions which might have offered to pul lie opinion the best guarantee of tl amplltude and organic vigor of t league.
 '.The Argentina delegation wou have accepted adjournment of a prop sition of secondary importance, but can not consent to put off those tn would complete and fortify the instit ton"
 while respecting contrary opinion, savs. we would be unfaithful to O fine of conduct if after having firm r,aintained our principles in declar ttons and in the commissions we h ,ot chosen a course which we estet ;s alone in harmony with the profou convictions that prompted our gover nent to adhere to the grand project
