GENEVA. Sept. 15.-Bolivia today
withdrew her demand for the inclu.
sion of her dispute with Chile in the
agenda of the assembly of the league
of nations.
Experts will be given time in which
70 agree upon the question of the
competency of the league to take up
matters of this description.
This action on the part of the Bo-
llVian delegation was taken as a re-
suit of new instructions from the La
Euz government.
President Van karnbeek appointed
Vittoric Scialoia of Italy, Manuel Pc
ralta of Costa Rica and Senor Uritia
OF Colombia as experts to give an
opinion on the competency of the as
sembly to discuss a revision of the
treaty of 1904. They will render a re-
port at the next meeting of that body.
Criticizes Inaction
The debate in the assembly was re-
opened this forenoon by Delegate
Lange OF Norway, who severely criti-
cised the inaction of the council on
disarmament. The Washington con-
ference, he said, represented a most
laudaole initiative on the part of
President Harding but the intention,
he understood, was that it should dis
cuss naval armaments only.
Public opinion, declared the Nor
wegian delegate, demanded that the
league pass efforts to secure disarma-
ment on land, but instead of handling
the question from the standpoint of
the assembly as that body had indi-
Gated attitude tho an1nnf1 r.,
the military commission of the league
was dealing with it from the view
point of the military attaches.
Thanks Assembly.
Bishop Fannoli of Albania thanked
the assembly on behalf of the Alban-
ian people for admitting that country
to the league. He joined the major
ity of the speakers who have ad-
dressed the assembly in demanding
the widest publicity for the activities
of the league and for the various
questions brought before the assem-
bly,.
Efforts to break the deadlock be-
tween the council of the league of
nations and the assembly of the league
over the election of the fourth deputy
judge of the international court of jus
tice, were begun at the opening of to-
days session of the assembly.
A conference committee was named
to meet similar body from the coun-
Gil and it was expected that the one
remaining deputy judge to be chosen
would be decided upon
System Explained
The system adopted for the election
of judges required that IL judges and
four deputies should be chosen sepa-
rately and simultaneously by the as
sembly and council
Those chosen by both were to be
declared elected. but provision was
| made that when there was difference
between the lists of the assembly and
the council there must be further bal
loting. This is situation which the
conferees we're charged to meet
When the first ballot was taken
yesterday it was found that the lead
ing nine names on the council and as
sembly lists had majority, and these
persons were declared elected.
The balloting continued for the two
other judges, Max Huber of Switzer-
land, and Dr. Alexandra Alvarez of
Chile being chosen by the assembly.
but not by the council
Didrik Galtrup, Gjedde Nyholm. of
Denmark, and Baron Deucamps, of
Belgium, were chosen by the council.
but not by the assembly The status
of all four was that of unsuccessful
candidates.
The voting continued in both bodies.
the assembly choosing Nyholm of the
council list, and again voting heavily
for Huber. DR.. Alvarez was therefore
eliminated. The council again chose
Nyholm, which brought about his cleo
tion and accepted the assembly's
choice of Huber in the place of Baron
Deucamps.
