LEAGUE TAKES

U.S.. ADHERENCE

Upon Motion BY Sir
Austen Chamberlain

Geneva, March lS. Up The Lea
que of Nations council decided this
morning to discuss at it's afternoon
session the question of America 5
adherence to the permanent court of
international justice, including sc
reservations attacked by the senate.
The decision, which was unexpect
ed, was taken on motion by Sir
Austen Chamberlain, British foreign
secretary. Sir Austen is believed to
have acted on advices from the Brit
ish ambassador at Washington, Sir
Esme Howard, conveying the opln-
ion that the American government
would not deem examination Of the
problem by the council either often
sive or unwarranted.
The league council. at secret ses-
sion today, declared that the special
commission to be appointed for revi-
sion of the leagues constitution
would meet May 10 in Geneva. The
commission will be composed Of
representatives Of the states COM
posing the council. as well as dele
gates from Argentina, Germany, Po-
land, China and Switzerland.

SPECIAL CONFERENCE MAY
DISCUSS RESERVATIONS

Geneva, switzerland, March ID
R)--ConvocatioH Of a special confer
ence of world court members to dis
cuss the reservations to American
adherence was said by league Off
cials today to be the probable plan
Of Sir Austen Chamberlain.
The British foreign secretary ut
this mornings session Of the league
council initiated motion which was
unanimously adopted, placing the
matter of the American reservations
on the councils agenda for this aft
.rnOon's meeting.
1t is expected that if the confer
ence matcrializes the United States
will be invited to send representa-
tive. SO that the delegations Of the
other court members may benefit
from his explanations Of the Ameri-
can conditions.
The aim Of the conference, which
presumably would be held the week
prior to the September league as
sembly, is an endeavor to secure 4
common answer to the American gov
eminent from all the signatories OF
the court protocol.
The league leaders realize that one
state can block American adherence
because all the signatorics must ac-
cept the American conditions before
the adherence becomes effective.
