LEAGUE OF NATIONS SPLITS
 FACTIONS IN THE ARGENTINE

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 15-The question of Argentina's return to the League of Nations promises to cause spirited political fight in the pres ent congress before 1t closes in Sep. tember. While the chamber re- gently voted to pay the League sec retariat's bills for dues, decision has yet to be made whether to ratify the adhesion given to the League by the Yrigoyen government, and if tliis is done. whether Argentina should continue to remain aloof from participation in the League Assembly until that body acts favor ably on the Argentine amendments making all sovereign states mem bers of the League and "democratiz- ing" the representation in the coun- cil
 Remaining aloof until such action is taken would constitute the con. firmation of ex-President Yrigoyen who caused the withdrawal of the Argentine delegation from the As sembly in 1920, but President Alvear is not in favor of maintaining this policy. Having dissented from Ar gentina's withdrawal when he was a member of the delegation, he is now, as president seeking to rectify what he believes to have been a mistaken proceeding He wants his country to renew it's relations with the League in full and be repre- scented regularly by a delegation, which could carry on Argentinas eff fort to democratize the League from the inside. and meanwhile, enable the country to participate in the benefits of membership enjoyed by nearly all other South American na- tions. including Brazil and Chile.
 But the ex-president, reputed lead CT of the Radical Party which elected ST. Alvear, and cfedited with the control of a considerable number of deputies and senators, is decidedly opposed, it is well understood in po- .Htical circles. to having his policy repudiated. Consequently, while the President had not trouble in obtain ing from congress authority to pay the Argentine dues to the League, it is believed that neither ratifica- ton of adhesion will be obtained without contest

Comments of WeHKno,un People

THE proposed International con-
gress on motion picture arts to
be held In New York June and s
has called for views from many i'm
portant authors and playwrights.
Here are a few that may be found in
teresting:
Winthrop Ames: 'Unquestionably
the imaginative art that today
reaches the greatest number OF peo-
pie in Arnerica-and especially young
peoples conveyed. by the motion
pictures. Perhaps It is only by way
OF the movies that imaginative art
now enters into many lives at all. So
the value to civilization OF your pro-
posed congress may be beyond calcu-
lation."
Arnold Bennett: II should like to
say that three things have struck me
in my experience of the cinema
