NOT To AMEND
LEAGUE PACT
Resolution Rejecting Amend

ti0nS Covenant Passed.

GENEVA, Dec. "A resolution
rejecting the consideration of
amendments to the leagues cove
nant at this session and providing
for a committee to study changes
before the meeting of the next as
sembly was passed by the assembly
of the league at today's session with
but one dissenting vote.
In reporting today the decision of

four, of Great Britain. forecast the
possible need of important changes
in the future.
The covenant was not regard I'd as
perfect or immutable, he said. and
the eventualities must be considered
of the next assembly being called
upon to consider amendments of far
greater importance than those now
proposed.
The covenant, Mr.. Balfour pointed
out. was famed with remarkable ra-
pidity, and doubtless amendments
would be necessary, but the COM
mittee fo"nd the moment inoppOr-
tune for them. Because the COM
mittee objected to the amendment
proposed by the Scandinavians. it
was not to be considered it disagreed
with them. The motive was this:
"If you amend the covenant you
amend the treaty of Versailles
which gave seal TO the peace of the
world"
Another motive of the committee
Mr.. Balfour explained was the con-
vic.ion that one years experience in
the working of a covenant. was in
sufficient to show just what amend
ments should be made, and the COM
mittee deemed it advisable to wait.
He said a commission, which the
committee recommended to study,
proposed amendments could report
to the council of the league which
in turn would report to the next as
sembly at Geneva. The date of this
he mentioned as September /, next

posed now to commission for

senbly could establish a precedent
