Geneva. Sept. 12th.-A heavy discussion
over the covenant Of the League Of Ma
tons, which NJ. II. JaJmar Brauting, OF

fragile in practice. gave the Geneva de-
liberations again a dramatic tom today.
The sub-CommisSi0n was conside ing
the proposed pact for mutual assistance,
which was Professionally arranged at Ma
ris as a compromise of the British and
T ench conceptions Of the project, when
III. Brantiug arose ana said the treaty
appeared TO be all guarantees and no dis
armament, and more c|oerciVa than con-
ciIidtory. After all. he de clared, the
covenant tf The League had in practice
proved int f%ftctive. He questioned who-
Their it was wise to adopt the most string
emf measures provided in the new treaty,
when they could not enforce things al
ready existent. This a|jIusion to the
Greco-ItaIiaD crisis brought Lord Rob
ert Cecil to his fl ct with the vigorous as
%sertion that there was 70 question that
the League had lot lived up to its du-
ties. He argued tFat the League could
not he conciliatory and c~oercive at the

fcation for any charge that the League
had failed. Information received at &c
neva that Premier Mussoiini might not
withdraw his troops from Corfu until the

the chances that the Assembly will soon
insist upon a discussion Of the League
competency. Lord Robert Cecil closed his
