Notes on Foreign Affairs.

The commission appointed by the league of
tions to examine amendments the covenant has
sumed its sessions in London under the presidency of
Arthur ]. Balfour. The first meeting of this commit
tee, which held in Geneva, lasted only two or
three days and adjourned without anything Of any
importance being accomplished At the present session
it planned to consider changes in Of the articles
of the covenant which have been proposed by diff
ferent nations
Among the most important changes to be dis
cussed the elimination of Article X which is pro-
posed by the Canadians and the encouragement of
regional understandings such the Monroe doctrine
which is favored by Czccho-Slovakia. The amendment
offered by Senior Puerrydon, Argentina, before his
withdrawal from the assembly which provides for the
admission of any sovereign state desiring it, will also
be considered The decision OF the commission will
be reported the assembly of the league for action
its session this fall Besides Mr.. Balfour of Great
Britain the commission is made up Of representative
of Czecho Siovaka Italy, Belgium France, China and
Denmark. ..,
During the past week there have been rumors
that the control of the great British newspaper the
London Times, would pass from the hands of Lord
Northcffe interests favorably disposed towards
Premier Lloyd George and the coalition For many years
while it under the control of succeeding genera
tions of the Walter family the Times has welded
great influence in British politics and has enjoyed
great prosperity. During the last few years before
Lord Northclife began direct the papers policy it
lost both prestige and circulation. During the North
cffe regime however, the circulation and advertising
revenues have been greatly increased.
The present generation of the Walter family,
which still has interest in the paper, is opposed
the political ideas expressed by the paper under Lord
Northcliffe's direction. The friends of the prime min
lister endeavoring TO persuade Sir John Elerman
another important stockholder, to hrows his influence
the side of the Walters and the control of the
paper from the who is Englands most, success
full publisher and one of Mr. Lloyd Georges most n-
fuential enemies If the Walters and their allies
succeed, the Times will doubtless be conducted in the
premer's interest at least in support of his Irish
policy and in his fight against the labor party.
In an address in the rechstag Wednesday,
Chancellor Wrth head of the German cabinet,
announced to an unsympathetic, and in certain
tons openly hostile audience, that the utmost
rifces would be demanded Of the German people in
order to fulfill their obligations to the entente. The
chancellor also warned the deputies that and
severe taxes must be levied, production greatly in-
and the sctest economy pracced by the nation
