LEAGUE BLOCKADE
RULES UNDER FIRE

GENEVA, Oct. 4.-(By the Assoc
ciated Press.)-Eight small states
members Of the League of Nations.
resumed in this mornings session of
the assembly Of the league their fight
against the too rigid application OF
blockade regulations which are pre-
scribed as one of the weapons to be
used by the league against a state
which has violated the covenant of
the organization.
Greece has been especially active
in her effort to bring about an amend
ment of article 16 of the covenant of
the league, so that no state can in
itiate a blockade on it's own account
without previous notification from the
council Of the league that the block
ade Of a covenant breaker is in order.
The assembly of the League
Of Nations made amendment of
the covenant easier by adopting
Monday under the old unanimity
rule a change in article &c, requiring
unanimity for amendments, and i'm
mediately began consideration of
the proposed alterations in the cove
nant under the new rule. Article
26 now reads:
"Amendements to the present
covenant the text of which shall
have been voted by the assembly on
a three-fourths majority in which
there shall be included the voters
of all the members Of the council
represented at the meeting, will
take effect when ratified by the
members Of the league whose repre-
sentatives compose the council when
the vote was taken and by a ma
jority of those whose representa-
tives formed the assembly,"
The first amendment debated I'M
der the new rule was modification
of article 16, proposed by the Greek
delegation, providing that no state
shall proceed to blockade a country
breaking the covenant before the
date, fixed by the council. The
and Poland, However. opposed any
action in fixing the blockade regu-
lations. They pointed out that
countries moved either by interest or
luminosity might anticipate the &C.
ton of the council and blockade on
ton had been sufficiently studied.
M. r. Demarees Van Swinderen,
of The Netherlands, raised par
liamentary question entirely new to
the assembly by moving suspension
CT all action on article 16 until the
next assembly. Lord Robert. Cecil
said that something must remain in
full vigor and that the effect of the
motion would be to tear up article
Is, leaving the league without an
economic arm whatever.
The Albanian-Greeco-Ju Slav
problem broke out again unexpected
~, but finally was disposed Of so
far as this assembly Is concerned,
by the declaration of the Albanian
delegation that it would accept the
declaration of the Albanian delega-
ton that it would accept the decision
Of the ambassadors council.
Lord Robert Cecil took occasion
to score the ambassadors for their
delays, saying:
"We have, heard that the ambas-
sadors are about to give their de-
cision. I hope and trust it is so.
because If I must venture very re-
spectfully to say so to such IA au-
gust body, delays in ouch a matter
are criminal to the peace of the
world" tt
