INVOLVING AMERICA

Geneva, NOV. 20.-(By the Associat-
ed Pressl Although the United States
is not represented by a delegate in the
assembly Of the League Of Nations. there
is hardly session III which the United
States is not referred to IN some man
ner. The United States Saturday had
q volunteer spokesman on the speakers
stand in Newton w Rowcll Of the Can
adian delegation. who warned the as
sembiy against any policy involving the
interference in the internal Sffairs of
any country.
Canada Mr.. Rowell said, will new
or consent to any such interference.
You cannot expect the great country to
the south of Canada to become n party
to the league if there is any pretention
that the league can interfere in its in
ternal affairs"
Raw Material Monopoly.
Mr.. Rowell was replying to a remark
by Senator LaFontaine of Belgium,
that no country should have the right
to monopolize the raw materials which
it produces.
Signor Tittoni, replying to Mr.. Roweli
took such a radical position on the sub
ject he thought open to discussion. Sat
urday's session concluded the first stage

The committees are expected TO re-
port early on questions susceptible of
quick solution so that the full session
can act on these while the committees
continue their work.
Sketch Committee Work.
Christian Lange Of Norway, and DR..
Wellington koo, of China, gave a gem
eral sketch of the work tho committee
had before it. The former suggested
that the only measure that could be
adopted to gauge limitations Of arma-
ments was the budget
DIR. Castor da Cunha of Brazil in
troduced a resolution providing that tho
of armament and NUM-
tions be limited to state monopoly,
Dr. Koo said it was necessary to 20
slowly in order to progress surely in
this matter. He reminded the assem-
bly, that the United States and Russia
were not yet members Of the league,
and that other countries, which it would
be necessary to consult, are outside tho
league.
