TO DECIDE FATE OF
LEAGUE AT GENEVA
COUNCIL SESSION
Attitude Of United States is
Expected to be Ruling Factor
of This Coming Session.

I
GENEVA; June .--(U. P)-With
the meeting of the council Of the
League Of Nations here today, the fate
Of the league win in all probability be
definitely decided.
Tie meeting will be the first one
that has been held since President
Harding's definite announcement that
| the United States can never join the
league i'm its present form.
It is expected that all Of the allied
powers have definitely decided upon
the attitude they wish to tale as re-
CARDS the league and the council Will
be in a position to formulate definitely
the leagues future.
The fundamental question TO be de-
cided will be whether 1t will be neees-
sary or advisable to abandon the
league as now established. or wheth-
er it will he possible to work over the
covenant and the leagues present or
ganization in such a manner that they
win eventually be acceptable to the
United States.
In addition to the fact that the dele
gates on the council of all the allied
nations will have definite Instructions
on this point from their respective
governments, It is also expected that
former Premier Yiviani of France will
be able to give d fairly definite idea
to the council whether or not the pres
ent league can be made acceptable to
the United States Much will unques
tionably depend upon his personal OBJ
servations in the United States on this
point.
AT the same time, there will be sim
ultaneously in session at Geneva two
big commissions, on both Of which VI.
viani is one ofthe principal members,
These are the commissions for ans
ending the covenant and for prepar7
ing definite plans for International dis
armament.
In case Viviani reports that the pres
ent league organization can be worked
over to meet American ideas and the
council has definite Instructions fronf1
the different allied governments tosl
work towards this end, no time will
therefore be lost.
While the amendment commission
was appointed by the leagues assem-
bly, last December it was stipulated
that all proposed amendments to be
passed upon by the next assembly IL
September must be snmtted before
March so, it has already been decided
TO sidestep this restriction in-the event
the covenant can be made acceptable
IN fba T{nitad Sfaes
The above limit has therefore been
made applicable only to amendments
submitted by members states. while

returns would not insure profit.

TAxIcaBs AppEAR N ROME

ROME. Jan. Ca. P)- Taxicabs
have just invaded Rome. New bright
Ily painted vehicles similar to those Of
New York have just made their ap-
pearance. replacing as many horse
drawn cabs. which have held sway in
the capital Of the Caesars for centur-
les. The taxicab. though welcomed
with open arms by the general mass OF
Romans, has met for years a stone
wall opposition for the right to cir
culate in Roman streets. The 5000
cab drivers and livery men fought its
use and warned the city administers
ltion they would be defeated at election
lif the taxicabs were admitted. This
opposition has in a measure been
overcome but there still remains some
cab drivers prejudice against motor
vehicles in their business. They have
insisted that the ehauffeurs be mainly
recruited from the cab drivers.

It is expected likewise that yiviani

himself is the CHAPMAN Of this com-

aud shape the work Of the commits
sion to meet the views of the United
states
Aside from the fact that the coming
council meeting will thus decide the
future fate of the league, The meeting
will also be ope Of the most important
vet held. It win be up to the Council
to take some decision on the official
protest of the German government
which has been made to the league
against the occupation of additional
Rhine territory last March.
Equally important decisions ayili
have TO be taken by the Council on
the question Of mandates. At the last
meeting of the Council in Paris in
March the United States filed a pro-
test egainst the awarding of the man
date for the island Of Yap to Japan
and against the awarding of mandates
fer Mesopotamia to England, under
the terms of the Anglo-French agree
inent which would give these two
countries monopoly on the oil pro-
dHction of MesopOtamia.
As a result of this protest the Coun-
Gil postponed action on the mandates
till the June meeting and invited the
United States to send delegate to the
coming council meeting in order to
present the American views.
4 score of. other important matters
are on the program. AS conse-
Iuence the meeting of the council is
expected to last at least two weeks.
At the assembly meeting in Septem-
Der, the league as whole and as it is
now constituted will be called upon TO
accept or reject whatever steps may be
taken towards working over the Lea

H0MESNRURAL AND URBAN.

Dwellers in rural America who
are inclined to envy their broth
>ers in the cities the joy Of living
in four-room fiat, or in story
and a half house on a 35-fOOt lot.
will do well to consider for a mo-
ment the plight of the folks IN
Jeffersontown, Kentucky.
After writing municipal his
tory for 1876 years, during which
it experienced good, bade and in
different administrations, Jeffer-
sontown has decided that the bad
and the Indifferent outweigh the
good by such large margin that
there is no use living under such
conditions any longer There
fore the citizens have been pc
titioned for permission to give up
their charter and abandon city
government.
There is good deal of common
sense in the rebellion of Jefferson
town.. Municipal government is
an expensive luxury. And it
grows more and more expensive
80 that what NAV be called its
marginal utility is being wiped
out. In other words. the city
dweller has to pay more for iv-
ing in cities than the privilege or
luxury-call it what you willis
worth.
Naturally it is not possible nor
desirable for all cities to follow
the example Of Jeffersontown.
We need and shall continue to
have cities. But we need not
continue to overvalue them as
places Of residence. We should
be willing, very soon, to ack-
knowledge the fact that from the
standpoint Of the home-seeker
and the home1builder the city is
going back and the country is
coming forward. One can now
live IN the country and yet enjoy
all the conveniences Of urban life.
