-FOUR french ALLIES
GIVEN LEAGUE SEATS
Poland, Rumania, Czecho-
slovakia and Belgium
Irish Free State Fails

Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 16 Up
Frances political influence in con,
tinental Europe, coupled with thu
personal popularity of Foreign Min.
lister Genes of Czechoslovakia, result,
ed today in the election of foul
countries who are practically
| Frances allies to permanent
seats in the council Of the league OF
nations. These states are: Poland
Rumania, Czechoslovakia and Bel
GUM.
The other states chosen were
Colombia, Chile, Salvador, Holland
and China. The Irish Free State
lost its battle to represent the Brit
ish Dominions in the council, receiv-
ing only 10 votes. Colombia, the
highest winner received 46 out of
the total of 40.
Czechoslovakia, which was an
eleventh hour candidate against
Finland, easily won on the second
ballot for the ninth seat, after eight
places had been filled on the first
ballot.
A large crowd, including Ameri-
can Minister Hugh Gibson, Rear
Admiral Hilary P. Jones and the
members of the American delega-
tioK to the prelmiT airy disarmament
conference, eagerly followed the bal
lotting. which proceeded amid few
erish excitement.
They also heard stiff protest
from the Uruguayan delegation
against the caucus of the Latin
American members of the league in
Geneva which rejected Uruguay's
claim to succeed herself on the
council, and picked Chile, Colombia
and Salvador for the three seats al
lotted to Latin America.
Not only will France have four
allies in the council, but Poland,
whose demand for a permanent seat
was one Of the chief causes of the
leagues failure to admit Germany
to membership last march, is de-
clared eligible for reelection at the
end of the three-year period given
her today.
The first reaction in German cir
cles to the designation Of two OF the
members of the little entente, Ru-
mania and Czechoslovakia, was one
OF displeasure that the Nordic group
by Finland should have
been defeated. One unofficial spokes-
man for the Germans now in Ge-
neva said:
Poland has been declared re-
but the world can bank on
the fact that this does not assure
her reelection"
In addition to Poland, three-year
terms were voted Chile and Ru-
mania, while Colombia, Holland and
China were given two years, and the
other three one year.
The assembly adjourned until Sat
urday morning.

New Haven, Sept. 16-The draft
of the platform reported was as fol-
lows:
The democratic party of today
originated almost Immediately after
! the federal constitution was finally
ratified, founded and led by Thomas
| Jefferson, its supreme concern was
for the freedom of the individual
citizens and its stand on the impor-
tant questions of the day was the
| logical application of this belief to
concrete facts. 1t favored a strict
construction OF the federal constitu-
ton and a rigid limitation of fed
eral powers because the several
states being nearer to the people,
were thought to be better suited TO
preserve liberty.
Early Principles.
It favored a minimum of legisla-
ton because of the belief that a
man was better OFT with least inter
ference and with freedom to care
for himself. 1t believed in special
privileges for no one and no class or
group, but equal rights of all. But
the country as whole departed
from these principles in the growing
interest in and desire for material
prosperity and the recognition OF
class selhshness and as this original
passion for liberty subsidized, the ma
TONS resistance was lowered 10 the
increasing inCurSion of political par
ties whose object We're not politi-
cal at all but economic and social
and it apparently acquisced in the
boldest attempts TO stifie personal
liberty under the guise of the gen.
eral welfare. The prohibition amend
ment, dealing not with the form of
our government or any political idea,
but a purely economic and social is
sue, was fastened on the Tunda-
mental law.

EFFECTIVE THIS YEAR
Operation Of New Statute VIII AZ
feet Many Changes In Accounts
of Organizations Now Paying No
Assessment on Their Properties.

Some local organizations may lose
their tax exemption while others will
be likely to have theirs extended
through a new tax statute which be-
comes operative this year copies of
which have been mailed from the
office of the state commissioner to
the local board Of assessors.
Several New Britain benevolent
organizations are exempted from tax
on the properties they occupy, but
on no others they hold, but under
the new law the exemption will be
made to embrace all. Religious or
ders conducting services in build
ings from which they derive rentals
will, in some instances, lose their
exemption.
The law ls the result OF an inves-
tigation into tax exemptions carried
on by a special committee of the
general assembly. With few excep-
tons lists of which have been sent
to boards of assessors, all owners of
scientific, educational, literary. be-
nevolent, agricultural and cemetery
organizations will be required to list
their properties with the board Of
assessors on or before October Is.
