BOYCOTT PLAN IS
TO Be DECIDED
REPORT REGARDING REcuLA
TlONS MADE BY BLOCKADE
COMMITTEE AT ASSEMBLY
League Blockade Committee Holds De.
tails Of Applying Barrier
Cannot Be Determined
In Advance

Geneva-Details Of applying the eco
nomic boycott for any member viola
ting the regulations Of the league Of
nations cannot be decided beforehand,
the blockade committee of the assem-
bly, reported Monday morning. It pro-
posed that the council Of the league
suggest a plan.
The committee held that interruption
of diplomatic relations should be begun
with the withdrawal Of heads of Dip
iomatic missions. In proposed resolu-
lions 1t was provided that certain
states, in case of special danger to
them, might be released from blockade
obligations.
Before the blockade committee reso-
lutions are voted on, it is expected
that an effort will be made to obtain
vote abrogating the rule requiring
unanimity, as it believed unanimous
decision on committee recommends
lions is impossible.
In addition to resolutions interpret
ing the covenant Of the league, the
committee proposed an amendment to
article 16 of the covenant, which pro-
vides for united action against a state
violating the agreement. The amend
ment follows:
"The council of the league will give
an opinion whether a breach of the
covenant has taken place. When the
council gives such opinion, the votes of
states charged with having committed
breach Of the covenant and Of states
bringing the charge, whether they are
members of the council under article
or have been specially summoned
shall not be reckoned in determining
whether or not there has been a unani.
nous decision"
Another proposed amendment reads
"The council may, in the case of q
particular member, postpone the com.
Ing into force Of any of these meas
ures for specified period where 1t is
satisfied such postponement will facili.
tate the attainment Of the object of the
measures to be applied, or that it ii
necessary in order to minimize the
loss and Inconvenience which will be
caused such members"
This amendment Is proposed to sat
isfy the Scandinavian members, who
demanded exemption from the block
ade obligation should the measure b.
applied to neighboring states.

ference Tuesday were said to be wide

oring than opposing ratification.
The conference did not conclude its
sessions Tuesday and agreed to meet
again Thursday when the question OF
reservations probably will be consid-
cred.
Senator Underwood of Alabama, MI

foreign relations committee, were re-
ported to have led the discussion In.
favor of ratification with Senator.
Glass Of Virginia and Harrison of
Mississippi the leaders Of the oppo1
nents.
The discussion, senator's said, did not
involve the probable attitude on rat
ification of former President Wilson,.
Senator Hitchcock. referring to reports
in circulation that Mr.. Wilson had ex-
pressed himself to one or two other
Democratic senators as against ratifi-
cation, said he knew nothing about it.
Coincident with the Democratic con-
ference, Senator Borah of Idaho, a Re-
publican opponent of ratification, in
troduced a resolution requesting the
state department to advise the senate
whether the United States has any

much discussion of report published
that former President Wilson was
backing the fight against the treaty
in the senate. Democratic senator's
denied Wilson was engineering the
battle on the pact.
Wilson is known to have told friends
who urged him to make some state
ment on the acts Of the administration
that the Republicans were "havine
troubles of their own" and that he
wanted to keep out of it, inasmuch as
his appearance in any situation would
solidify the Republican strength in an
attack on him.
