POPE WILL DISCUSS
PALESTINE CONTROL
WITH LEAGUE HEADS
BY HIRAM Il. MODERWELL
Special Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
the Chicago Daily NewsO

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
the Chicago Daily News.)
ROME, Dec. 10.-Be ginning today,
all delegates to the council OF the
League Of Nations will be received
Individually by the pope. Even the
special cmissaries of Austria and
Danzig, who have made their re-
ports to the council on their terri
tories, are being received.
Though the vatican states these
audiences are strictly private, it is
regarded as inevitable that the con.
versation there will concern those
interna tional questions which par
ticularly touch the vaticans spir'
iIUal interests.
1t is considered significant that
before the interview with Austen
Chamberlain today, the pope talked
with Monsignor Ma glione, the apos-
tolic nuncio, who presented to the
League of Nations the vatican's pro-
posal that it be given the custody
of he holy places in Palestine. This
is another confirmation that the
most important subject Of conversa-
ton between the pope and the Brit
ish foreign secretary will be Pales-
tine.
Mr.. Chamberlain visit with the
pope lasted twenty minutes, Little
ceremony was made of it, but the
British foreign secretary was CON
stantly surrounded by a battery of
English and Italian detectives until
he was inside the vatican doors. This
was to prevent his ASA ssination, at
tempts at which have been feared
from the Egyptian nationalists.
Later, the secretary spent fifteen
minutes with Cardinal Gasparri.

ROME, Dec. 10.-(By the Asso-

audience by Pope Plus.
The council yesterday decided on
the conVocation May next, Of an
International conference for control

implements of war. This decision
was taken after receipt of the
United States acceptance of the

The council also directed that the
commission of coordination, which
has taken the place of the old dis.
armament commission of the league,
should hold its first meeting in
Geneva on February 16.
The commission then is to decide
whether the time is propitious for a
conference for control of priva @

moment has arrived to invite the
United States to participate in the
preliminary work of organizing the

Daugherty May Quit
1t will be recalled that Daugherty
was named Attorney General by his
intimate friend, the late President
Harding, who had a warm admira-
ton for his political sagacity and a
deep personal attachment due to
years of close association in Ohio
politics. Antagonist toward Daugh-
erty developed during the last presi-
Dental campaign when he was vigor-
ously opposed as the spokesman of
the Ohio delegation to the National
Republican convention The fight
against him within his party has
grown, especially since the passing
of his chief defender, the late presi-
dent. 1t is believed that he will re-
tire before the convention in June,
because his connection with the cab
met may bring blight upon the can
didacy of Mr.. Coolidge. Public men
must expect to have their private
affairs scanned and misrepresented
at times.
