Convention Marks Progress
In COdified Internal. Law

Geneva, Dec. ga. p. by MaiD-
Some 80 countries have already
signed the convention for the sir1pli-
fication of customs formalities which
was recently elaborated at Geneva at
an international conference, and cop
les of the treaty have been forward
ed to the United States government
for it's general information. An
American delegation was present at
the conference. though it took no &C
tive part and did not vote.
The convention marks progress in
what League of Nations officials call
which is now being undertaken step
by step by the League. Already about
two score conventions have been
drafted through the machinery of the
League. Seventeen of these concern
the protection of labor. Three touch
the freedom of communica tons and
transit, and others provide for the
creation of the world court of justice,
the inclusion of arbitration clauses In
commercial contracts. the prevention
of traffic in obscene publications and
the suppression of traffic in women
and children commonly known as
the white slave traffic.
In addition to these general con-
ventions several specific instruments
of far reaching importance have been
negotiated through the league. The
most notable of these is the docu-
ment which provided for the financial
reconstruction of Austria.
Publicity of all tariffs and customs
formalities is the fundamental note
of the customs convention. OF gen.
eral interest is the engagement to
simplify and make more uniform the
rapid delivery of merchandise through
customs houses. and the quick in
spection of travellers baggage. Fur
thermore. the contracting states
promise to limit as far as possible the
cases where certificates of origin are
obligatory in connection with the i'm
portation of goods.
