REACH ACCORD
IN JAPAN CASE
Geneva Says Agreement Is
Satisfactory to Tokio-3
Statesmen in Move
HAVE PRIVATE SESSION
Hope to Revise Protocol on
Arbitration and Security
to Appease Japan
HAVE PRIVATE SESSION

GENEVA, Sept. 80 (By The Asso-
csated Press) The difficult situa-
tion endangering the protocol on
arbitration and security, brought
about by the demand of the japanese
delegation for an amendment to the
protocol, was smoothed out today to
the satisfaction of the Japanese.
This important step was accomp-
lished by a special committee, in
cluding Louis Loucheur, of France,
Sir Cecil Hurst, of Great Britain,
and S:gnor Scialoia, of Italy, which,
with Mr.. Adachi, of Japan, present
and approving. worked out definite
plan for arranging the protocol to
remove the Japanese objections and
thereby to prevent an adverse vote
by the Japanese delegation when the
protocol is submitted to the assembly
of the League of Nations.
The compromise plan was submit
ted this afternoon to the sub-com-
mission on arbitration. 1t provides a
system whereby all conflicts be-
tween nations, even those arising
over matters of internal Jurisdiction,
may be examined by the council of
the league when any member intro
duces the subject for discussion.
This is in effect the original jap
anese amendment to the protocol,
which the Japanese delegates aban-
doned in favor of much stronger
one when they found the first one
met with disfavor. Their second
proposition. which was considered as
graveiy endangering the future of
the protocol and Of the proposed in
ternational conference on disarma-
ment provided by 1t, called for the
suppression of the protocol clause
which proclaimed as an aggressor
any state refusing to abide by a
world court ruling that a particular
dispute concerned the sovereign
rights of the state complained
against and hence that no conflict
was justifiable.
Having gained their original point.
the Japanese have now dropped
their substitute amendment, the dam
ger of which lay in its implied ques-
tioning of the doctrine of the sover-
eign rights of a state over its do
nestle affairs.
A complete accord was
Preached this morning by the
three statesmen entrusted with the
task of finding solution of the diff
ton by the japanese of an amend
ment to the protocol on arbitration
and security and the agreement
reached is satisfactory to the Japa-
nese.
This was divulged by NJ. Loucheur.
the French member of the commit
tee. lust before noon.
The committee. composed in adj
dition to M Loucheur. of Sir Cecil
Hurst. of England. an Signor Scia-
lola. of Italv. with NJ. Adachi pres
ent. met in private conference in
the palace of the League of Nations
and examined the various formulas
designed to solve the Japanese diff
ficulty which h.sd been prepared dur
ing the night by each committee
man.
A few minutes before M. Lou
cheur made his announcement. word
came from the conference room that
the committee was gradually making
progress in celebrating the text of
one formula which. 1t was hoped,
| would SO revise the protocol on ar
bitration and security as to meet
delegations opposed to the Japanese
