PACT DRAFT COMPLETED.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September 15.-Foreign
Minister Benes of Czechoslovakia,
who Is charged with the work Of
framing the proposed pact Of arbitra-
tion and security which the disarma-
ment commission of the League of
Nations Assembly is endeavoring to
work out, submitted his first rough
draft of the pact today to small
group of prominent delegates, includ-
ing Lord Parmoor and Arthur Hender-
son of the English delegation, Louis
Loucheur of France and Sienor
Schanzer of Italy.
This outline is based on the Ameri-
can suggestion to define an aggressor
state as one that refuses arbitration.
1t gives first place to the Permanent
Court Of International Justice, but it
invests the Council of the League of
Nations with new authority by pro-
viding that it act in collaboration
with the world court.
Dr. Benes in carrying out his task
Is making an effort to maintain the
| unanimity rule now prevailing in the
| council in the settlement of disputes,
and at today's conference with the
selected group an effort was made to
work out some scheme to make the
desired collaboration of the court and
the council practicable
British View Differs,
DR.. Benes is understood to favor
a distinct, clear cut protocol to ac-
| complish this end and in this he is
supported by the French, but the
British this morning seem to lean
toward providing for it by resolution
| instead of by protocol-a view which
| appears unsatisfactory to the others
In connection with the sanctions
or penalties, which would operate
against an aggressor state, it is under
+ stood the English objected to any
direct interference to assistance
which would be rendered by the
British fleet although maintaining
| their promise of the British fleets
support in such action.
The official subcommittee of the
| disarmament commission will con-
| slider the Benes draft this afternoon
The Turkish delegation which is
| here in connection with the dispute
| between Great Britain and the
Angora government over the Mosu
district with its rich oil fields will
demand q plebiscite in the area fol
| the determination of the frontier
| according to an official spokesman oi
| the delegates. Failing approval OF
| this project by the league council, the
| delegation will ask that the question
| of holding a plesbiscite shall be sub.
mitted for arbitration to the Perma-
nent Court of International Justice

character exclusively international
under the direct control of the League
of Nations. The offer is being con-
sidered by the league assembly
The leagues commission on intellect
ual cooperation had the subject before
it this morning. the discussion being fea-
tured by a frank and occasionally witty
passage at arms between the noted
French philosopher, Henri Bergson, and
Prof. Gilbert Murray, the widely known
British scholar. NJ. Bergson urged a
blanket acceptance of the French offer
to establish and endow the institute,
while Prof. Murray expressed the fear
that the proposed institution in Paris
would be likely to become a predom-
inantly French organism, because Paris
is capital Of a very particular char
acter."
Prof. Murray presented a series of
resolutions designed. he said, to safe
guard the International character of the
proposed institute by putting it under
direct control of the secretariat Of the

PARIS TO PAY i. S1IJ
DEBT, SAYS WELLER
Maryland Senator Tells Co0I-
idge Conditions Observed
on European Trip.

AS much as the people OF FRANCE,
would like to have the United States
cancel their debt they have finally
come to understand that the latter
has no intention of being so gener-
Gus, and it will not be long before ne
gotiations are started to bring about
some sort of settlement, according TO
views expressed by Senator Weller.
Republican, of Maryland, who spent
an hour with President Coolidge to-.
day telling him of his observations in
Europe
Senator Weller was one of the
American delegates to the Inter-Par-
liamentary Union which met this
summer in Fern and Geneva, and he
and the others of the American dele
cation visited the more important
countries on the continent before
sailing for home.
Other White House Callers
Senator Mckinley of Illinois and
Representative Burton of Ohio, who
was the temporary chairman OF the
Cleveland convention, also a member
of this delegation, followed Senator
Weller to the White House TO pay
their respects to the President. Their
audience with the Executive, how
ever, was not so long as that of the
Maryland senator
France is enjoying an era of great
prosperity at this time" Senator
Weller said. "She is without any
doubt the most prosperous nation in
Europe, and she is now in a position
where she can we'll afford to admit
her Indebtedness to the United States
and to start in motion negotiations
to liquidate this debt. There is no
mistaking the fact that the French
people would like nothing better
than to have Uncle Sam continue to
play the role of the big brother and
let her forget about the war debt,
but they realize also that unless she
shortly makes some movement look
ing toward a settlement she will be
up against the moral sentiment of
the world and will lose prestige"
Germany On Upgrade.
Germany is on the boom now"
Senator Weller said, "and with the
Dawes plan working this republic
will forge ahead with a bang that
will make the entire world sit up and
take notice. The United States can
not help but be benefited financially
by the recuperation of Germany. In
my opinion the world has much to
be thankful for in the Dawes plan.
Conditions in ENGLAND are far
unemployment. Trade is falling off
and the economic outlook is far from
bright
