III September, when Prime Minister
Macdonald of Great Britain submit
ted TO the League of Nations his plan
for an international agreement for Sc
curity, arbitration and disarmament,
The discussion was heated, and Japan
refused TO adhere because the plan
prohibited wars based on internal poll
cies of nations. Her delegates did not
conceal the fact that they were re-
ferring especially to the Japanese ex-
clusiOn clause Of the American immi-
grafton law, which already had caused
protests from Tokyo and boycotts and
threats against Americans in Japan.
They insisted the agreement must pro-
vide that any nation might ask the
league to arbitrate internal affairs OF
any other nation, and the league as
sembly yielded TO them and adopted
the protocol with such amendment.
Assent Of the legislative bodies of all
member nations of course was reQui-
site, and as time went on II became
evident this could not be obtained.
The British parliament, 1t was be-
lieved, was almost certain not to agree
since Canada, Australia n New Yea
land were bitterly opposed.
In October Great Britain and Tur-
key were at swords points over the
old Mosul oil fields dispute, but they
submitted the matter to the League of
Nations council. which ordered the
status quo be maintained for the pres
ent.
Sir Lee Stack, sirdar Of the Egyp-
tian army and governor general of the
Sudan, was murdered by Egyptian IA
tionalists in November. The British
government, swiftly moving warships
and troops to strategic positions, de-
manded an apology, indemnity of 81.
100000, punishment of the assasstns,
and. most important, concessions con-
corning the Sudan and the great irri-
CATION project there. Premier Zagloul
Pasha resigned and Ziwar, his sue
cessor yielded to all the demands. The
root of the trouble was the control of
the Sudan, which was claimed by both
nations.
Great Britain's war debt to the Unit
ed States was funded or q basis gen
orally satisfactory, and late In the year
France began negotiations to fund her
debt to us. The British government at
once announced that IL France or any
other nation that was in debt to Brit
ain paid the United States, she would
expect to receive payment from them
in proportion. This checked the pro
.ceeedings for the time. Poland already
had arranged for the funding of her
American debt.
The Irish Free State registered with
the League Of Nations the treaty with
England by which it was granted its
measure Of independence, but in De
the British government pro-
tested against this action, asserting
that the league had nothing to do with
arrangements between sections OF the
empire.

and at night, succeeded without a
break. in communicating with Ameri-
can amateurs and the Navy short
wave station at Bellevue, D. c., during
the entire time of the cruise. The I'M

by the fact that the fleet visited Ha-
