GENEVA. August 1o-The Kellogg
treaty outlawing war is likely to be dis
cussed by the League Of Nations AS
senbly in September.
The pact was officially brought to
the attention Of the League by Great
Britain as matter which is evidently
one of general interest to all League
members" This makes it possible for
the League to discuss the document,
which will be signed late this month,
and it is regarded as certain that it
will be debated.
Discussion. it was thought, will cover
the significance of the pact to the
maintenance Of international peace and
as an encouragement to the reduction
of armaments.
Consistent With League"
The British communication did not
include the text of the Kellogg pact
but merely the text of Britain's notes
interpreting the proposals. In a COW
erlng note Great Britain said that in
considering the American proposal the
government had been at great pains TO
assure itself that acceptance would
not involve any inconsistency with OBJ
legations resulting from the League COW
enant."
Britain remarked that communica-
tlons to Washington make clear that
there Is no such conflict The request
was made that the British communica-
ton be sent to all members of the
League, because the matter is evident
~ one of general interest To all League
members"
There is speculation in Paris where
the pact will be signed, whether Sir
austen Chamberlain. British foreign
secretary, and Gustav Stresemann. Ger
man foreign minister will attend. Sir
austen mas been ordered TO take a COM
pete rest and Lord Ctishendun has
been appointed acting foreign secre-
tary and may replace Sir Austen AT the
signing. II is understood that Dr.. Strese-
mann desires TO participate but it is
not sure whether his presence will be
approved by the majority groups sup
porting the German government. 1t is
felt therefore that DR. Stresemann
might take Sir Austen'S absence as .
reason for staying home himself.
Doubt KeIlOgg's Going.
In event that Or. Stresemann and
Chamberlain remain away there is
some question in Paris whether +Secre-
tary Kellogg viii consider it worth while
to come.

suggested at a conference between Pre-
mier Primo de Rivera and Ogden H.

and benefactor"
Like other great men, he thought
best to leave a house that was under

he attacked the head of the house
southerners did not know how to take
that. They later were unable to under
stand how he could sit without protest
in cabinet which allowed one of It's
