By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press,
 Geneva, Oct. 1.-The amended draft protocol on arbitration and se- curity was presented to the assembly of the League of Nations for its ap- proval today, accompanied by a gen eralreport, historical and analytical in nature, Mir. Politis of Greece and Dr. Benes of Czechoslovakia, offical reporters for the two commissions which jointly framed the document. Special Chapters
 Special chapters are devoted to condemnation of aggressive war, compulsory jurisdiction of the world court of justice, the strengthening of pacific methods of prOced@e, the domestic Jurisdiction Of states, sanc- tions and reduction of armaments, ell of which are foreign features of the protocol. The conclusion of tho report which fills many printed pages, contains observations of a general nature.
 War Is Killed
 "OT purpose" says the report, "was to make war impossible-to kill it, to annihilate it. The plan drawn up leaves no loophole it pro- hibits wars of every description and lays down the rule that all disputes shall be settled by pacific means"
 If the smallest opening was left for any measure of force the whole system would collapse, it adds, and (. to this end arbitration is provided for every kind of dispute, and az sression Is defined in such way as to give no caase for hesitation when the court of the league has to take decision.
 No Loophoies Left
 The reporters declare that these reasons led the framers of the pro tocol to fill in the gaps in the league covenant. and define sanctions in sucn way that no possible means could be found for evading them and thar there would be sound, definite tasis for feeling of security.
 "The peace of the world is at stake," continues the report The fifth assembly has undertaken a work of worldwide importance which if it succeeds is destined pro- foundly to modify present political conditions. If we succeed the League of Nations will have render- ed inestimable service to the whole modern vorlds'
 The report ends by begging the assembly to examine the proposals with care and to recommend them to the various governments for ac- ceptance.
 The Japanese Issue
 The problem of the domestic iur- isdiction of states raised by the Jap anese delegation is treated at greLt length. lnsstence is made that the protocol in no way derogates the rule of Article XV of the copenant which protects national sovereign ty but that ''in order that no doubt may exist it appears advisable to say SO expressly"
 Nevertheless, while the principle of Article XIV of the covenant is maintained, NJ. Politis and Dr. Benes explain that it has been found neces- sary in order to make its applica- ton more flexible to call in aid the rule of Article NJ Of the covenant which makes it the leagues duty in event of war to take any action deemed wise and effective to safe guard peace and obligates the sec retary- general 10 summon a meeting of the council at the request Of any member of the league.
 Thus the reporters say when il has been recognized that a dispute arises out Of d matter solely within the domestic Jurisdiction of one oi the parties, that party or its oppon' ent will be fully entitled to call upon the council or assemly to act.
 The report then make poin' deemed by the jurists to be of great importance as follows:
 Article XI Of the covenant does not deal with situations which arc covered by rules ot law capable oi application by a judge; it applies only to cases which are not yet regu- lated by inteTnational law. Conse' ouently 1t demonstrates the eNistence Of loopholes in the law, The ref erence to Article NI will be an in ducement to science to clear tho ground for the work which tho League Of Nations will have to un' dertake with a view to bringing about, through development of th' rules of international law closel reconciliation between the indiyidua interests of it's members and the uni versal interests which it is designed to scrvie."
 Another Way of Saying It
 This is deemed here. to be another way of saying that many problems now claimed to be domestic in ma fure are really international and tha this category might include soeia problems-like immigration, equit able treatment for foreigners anC other matters alluded 10 though no specifically mentioned. not only b'
