The Daily Chronicle thinks that "if
the great weight Of America, as repre-
sented by Hoover, were thrown on the

creating confidence in Germany and
helping reconcile her creditors to the

PLAN new WORLD
LEAGUE OF STATES
Association to Link Pan-Ameri-
can Union and Other Coun-
tries Is Proposed
REVISED ARTICLE X DRAWN

Grenoble. France, Aug. 2S.--A new
plan for world association of states'
to link together tho League of Ma
tions, the Pan American Union and
those governments which are members
Of neither was submitted TODAY to the
Institute of International Law at its
meeting here by Prof. Alexandra Al
varez, Of Chile.
The plan was presented in the form
Of report drafted by Prof. Alvarez
for the twenty seventh commission Of
the institute, which approved it at an
executive session held in Paris from
July 81 to August 3.
The new association would be super
imposed upon the present league and
Pan American Union and would
seek to encourage regional and con-
tinental groups rather than attempt to
replace them entirely. 1t is designed
to meet the American objections to the
League of Nations with the primary
purpose of ordinating the states Of
the world, not establishing super
state.
Sixteen fundamental questions were
submitted to the institutes members,
comprising many nationalities. Forty
replies, many of them in elaborate de-
tail, were received and studied.
Inadequacy OF League Recognized
The inadequacy of the present League
as world grouping was frankly recog-
nized, and It was deemed wiser to let
Il remain rs a sort of European organ
ization. The insufiiciency of the League
was declared to be based largely upon
the attitude of the United States, to-
gether with the absence of Germany
and Russia.
The convention, which consists of
eighteen articles, creates "a world as
sociation of states, which has rs its
mission to establish liaison between the
League Of Nations, the Pan American
Union and the states belonging to none
Of these groups.
All members of the League and the
Pam American Union would automati-
cally become members Of the association.
unless they specifically refuse, and the
others would: be admissible by two
thirds vote of the assembly.
The assembly, which would be q
controlling body. would be composed
not to exceed three delegates from each
country, but each delegation would have
only one vote.
Article XVI reads: Estates members
Of the association agreed not to resort
to hostilities until they have exhausted
the methods recognized by international
law for the pacific settlement of dis
putes. If a state violates this provi-
sion the council will direct the atten-
tion of the various continental or re-
gional organizations so they may con-
slider the measures they think neces-
sary."
A revised Article X of the League
of Nations reads:
''The members of the League bind
themselves to respect the present ter
ritorial integrity and political inde-
pendence Of all members of the league.
In the case OF violation of this funda
mental obligation as we'll as IN the
case of aggression against a member of
the league by a non member state, the
council. after consideration, will rec
ommend to the members the measures
ii thinks proper"
