BY NEWTON c. PARkR,

GENEVA, Dec. 4.-Official an
nouncement was made today that
Argentina has withdrawn from the
League Of Nations.
The trouble between Argentina
and the League dates back to Wed
nesday, when President Paul Hy-
mans, of the League of Nations as
sembly, was charged with giving no
official recognition to protests made
by the Argentine delegation.
DELEGATES FAIL TO APPEAR.
The Argentine delegates made
further protests against their treat
ment, and were supported by other
South America countries.
The Argentine delegation, headed
by Foreign Minister Pueyrredon,
failed to appear when the assembly
met today. No explanation was given
at that time.
1t was reported on Friday that
Argentina might withdraw from the
League of Nations.
The Argentine delegates when
asked about this report, however,
said it was absurd. But, neverthe-
less, the Argentine delegates pro-
tested to the assembly against the
treatment accorded them, and were
supported in their protest by other
South America countries.
Further factional discussions were
aroused by a motion handed to the
assembly on behalf of Argentina
which proposes an amendment OF
the League of Nations covenant TO
admit all recognized nations that de-
sire admission.
