Voice Is Heard In a
Plea Against War

Geneya.-The fifth assembly of the
League Of Nations Oct. 2, solemnly
concluded its work of peace by the
unanimous adoption Of a resolution
urging that all governments ratify the
protocol of arbitration and security
providing for the pacific settlement OF
international disputes.
The memorable debate before the
league, which closed with the adoption
of the resolution. ended in the frantic
note of a woman's plea that war be
forever banished because its first vic
tim is always the child.
The speaker was Mrs. Helen Swan
wick of Great Britain, the last of the
delegates to speak before the voting.
All of the At states represented in
the present assembly supported the
resolution, which was divided into two
parts. The first recommended to the

GENEVA CRISIS ON
JAPANU. s. FEUD
TOXIC ENLISTS TWO ALLIES
IN SINISTER
MOVE
THE SITUATION IS CRITICAL
Belgium and Greece Favor Arbitral
Clause Which Might Make Yank
Exclusion War Motive

Geneva.-A grave crisis prevailed
Sept. % in the peace discussions
through Japan's insistence upon an
amendment to the proposed protocol of
arbitration and security
SO critical was the situation judged
to be, hat France suggested that the
Japanese amendment, which concerns
| the Interpretation of state rights as re-
lated to arbitration and which every
body construed as referring to the i'm
migration problem, should be consider
ed calmly by a subcommittee. A mo-
| ton by the French to this end was ac-
cepted by the arbitration commission.
Japan offered her amendment after
a day of fruitless private conferences.
Viscount Ishii consulted with M.
BRAND, M. Loucher, Sir Cecil Hurst
and other leaders, but no n was able
to find a formula acceptable to the
Japanese.
Senior Fernandez. a Brazilian jurist,
combated the Japanese amendment. It
has the effect, he said, of putting the
sign of approval on the most inadmis-
sible, as well as the most cruel wars of
all-those growing out of a conflict
over a states sovereign rights.
He admitted that a certain justice
might be melted out to a state against
which an arbitral sentence was made,
but thought the remedy was to be
found either in the codification of in
ternational law, which is about to be
begun at Geneva, or in revising article
% of the covenant, which declares
hat the members of the league of ma
lions will endeayor to be and maintain
fair and humane conditions of labor
for men and women and children both
in their own countries and in all count
ries to which their commercial and in
1ustrial relations extend. But the Jap
anese amendment he believed would be
destructive and dangerous.
A look of surprise came upon the
of many of the delegates when
both M. Politis of Greece and NJ. Rolin
# Belgium arose and defended the JAP
anese proposal.
