LEAGUE HURT IS VIEW.
Held Impotent in Important Is
sues by Observers

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News
GENEVA, March 1.-THE thirty
third meeting of the Council of the
League of Nations, which ends to-
day, has been a disastrous session for
the league, in the opinion of many
observers. The league seems to be
confined, they think, to discussing
minor differences and is excluded
from attempting to settle important
disputes.
Austen Chamberlain's declaration of
the views Of the British government
makes it clear than Great Britain's
attitude is firmly against the Geneva
protocol, firmly against a general
agreement for submitting all cases if
they do not include Germany
Mr. Chamberlain stated that il the
league covenant is not enough il
should be supplemented and not re-
placed. AS regards the court, he said,
il was impossible to predict the future
and therefore impossible to accept in
advance judgments to be rendered in
conflicts between nations of different
traditions, interests, civilizations, size
Importance and sentiment
Split Seems widened,
1t seems the British are farther
than ever from Offering special
pact with France, as France seems
unwilling to accept a settlement that
will include Germany.
Mr.. Chamberlain says he is ready to
participate in a reduction of arma-
ments conference on the principle that
it adheres to the league covenant. He
seems to have a firm intention of re-
serving liberty of action, refusing to
bind the British government to theo-
retical permanent peace by tying it's
hands to alliances and agreements
which would bring British forces to
parts of the world where British in
terests were absent
The absence of the United States
will be used to excuse many with
drawals, both the French and the
British intimating that this absence
makes economic sanctions meaning
less. Refusal to accept the protocol
automatically rejects the proposed re-
duction of armamcnts conference which
was slated for May.

Noiseless Airplane Made.

Aviation experts have developed
noiseless airplane, it is now known,
as a result of work that has been
done by the various societies interest
ed in aviation since the war. The eX-
haust gases are enabled to escape
silently without interfering with the
lifting power or speed of the plane,
and an ingenious arrangement of
gears has made a noiseless propeller
possible Likewise q new idea in
bracing has reduced the noise of wind
rushing through the wires and planes.

those men in whom he personally has
confidence, and that, unless the Sen
ate can find some blemish on the man,
that body should not make partisan
politics out of appointments to the
cabinet.
The President is inclined to think
that If partisan politics is brought up
every time the President makes a
cabinet appointment it is going to be
difficult and embarrassing for the
Executive. He realizes that he must
appoint human beings and 1t is going
to be difficult to get one against
whom some objection cannot be
raised if partisanship is to be fol-
lowed.

PORTUGUESE GIRLS TAKE
UP ECONOMIC BATTLE
Discard Tradition and GO to Work.
Overcome Great Ill Will of
Masculine Element.

Correspondence of the Associsted Press.
LISBON, February 1.-The women
of Portugal slowly are emerging from
the almost Moorish seclusion in which
they have lived for so long, and the
first thing they do, under the new
freedom, is to go to work. The
shops and offices of Lisbon are be-
sieged these days by girls eager to
follow in the footsteps of their sisters
in other countries and earn their
own livings.
Much had to be overcome by these
Lisbon girls. There was the resist
ance and i'll will of the masculine
element, grounded in the precedent of
many centuries. and a large group of
minor State officials. In fear of their
own jobs, voiced violent opposition.
In the schools also Portuguese girls
have won their victories. They have
exploded old traditions, and today are
taking their places on the benches
along with their brothers.
