FRANCE NOT DOUBTING
STATUS OF ARGENTINA
Paris Foreign Office Does Not
Question Legality.

tions. nor the competence of Argentina
delegates to the assembly Of the league
at Geneva to represent their country, 1t
was stated at the Foreign Office to-day.
This statement was prompted by re-
ports published in Argentina that France
was questioning the legality of the
Argentinian membership in the league,
the point being raised that her adher-
ence could not be considered legal until
approved by the national Congress- The
report was connected In Argentina with
dispatches from Geneva indicating that
deductions had been made there from
utterances of Foreign Minister Pueyrre-
don that Argentina favored the admis-
sion of Germany to the league.
In denying the report that France was
questioning Argentina's status in the
league the Foreign Office expressed dis
belief that the French delegates al
Geneva were taking an attitude reflect
ing any such view.

One OF the interesting points raised
by the withdrawal OF Argentina Is
whether the provision OF the league

that one OF the Lodge reservations was
designed to protect the United States by
having it plainly set forth that America
could quit the league at any time II
chose. -
Argentina is not protected by any such
reservation. II any effort is made TO
hold Argentina in the league despite her

do not wish TO interfere in our Internal
affairs. Then l would like to know what
are they doing now by sending such a

"The Allies say they are painfully sur

1t Is merely that we held elections in
which the people expressed their will.
and that is what elections are for.
by the election the people have shown
they want Constantine. They also gave
Venizelos his political death blow. The
Greek people still are willing to carry
out the contracts undertaken with the
