NEW PEACE TREATY
DRAWN BY NATIONS
Pact to Be Submitted to
League Would Embrace
All Powers.
BY the Associated Press.


GENEVA, September 25-1n an eff
fort to promote the pacific settlement of
disputes between nations, leaders of the
League of Nations have decided to sub
nit to the assembly a document en-
titled "a General Act" This would be
open to the signature of all nations
whether members of the League or not
The document puts in the form of
general treaty conventions already exist
ing between many states as bilateral
engagements.
Working Machinery Provided.
1t provides machinery for the settle
ment of all differences except those
which the signatories exclude from its
scope. Disputes arising out of domestic
legislation, as, for example, a dispute
over emigration, are among the ques-
tons concerning which the trainers as
sumo states would wish to make reser-
vations. Other reservations made pos
sible concern disputes which have arisen
before the signature of the general act.
Different from the defunct Geneva
protocol, the act does not impose COM
pulsory arbitration and makes no at
tempt to define an aggressor nation. 1t
proposes that states signing the act SUBJ
NIT all disputes to settlement by COM
missions of Cancellation when other
means of settlement have failed; to SUD-
NIT all juridical controversies to the
International Court of Justice or the
special tribunals dealing with such prob
lens, and invites the signatories to SUBJ
init political differences to arbitral tri-
bunals.
Move to Strengthen Court.
The arbitration committee also decid-
ed to strengthen the hand of the Inter-
national Court of Justice by having the
council urge all states which have not
done so to sign the compulsory arbitra-
ton clause of this court.
In framing this program many dele
gates have desired to reinforce the idea
of the Kellogg renunciation-of- pact
by reducing the chances of nations re-
sorting to war.

SANDERS NAMED TO
OPEN FIRST STORE
IN.TUCSONJANuARY1

A. E. Sanders of Nogales, wide
ly known wholesale groceryman
and head of the Piggly Wiggly
Southwestern System operating
stores in Nogales, Wilcox, Tomb
stone and Tucson has been ap-
pointed president of the Clarence
Saunders Grocery Stores of Arizona
and New Mexico. Mr.. Sanders will
head $5,OOO,OOO chain op-
Grating more than 100 stores in
Arizona and New Mexico.
The first step, it wa.s announ ed
by Mr.. Sanders yesterday, will be
the installation of seven Saunders
stores in Tucson. This will be fol-
lowed by stores in Nogales and
nearly every city in Arizona and
New Mexico. The first store will
be located in the postoffice build
ing on Fourth avenue in Tucson
and will be opaned near January /
1929.
Although at the head of the new
enterprise, Mr.. Sanders VIII! re-
main at the helm of his present
Piggly Wiggly stores and continue
his residence in Nogales.
Mr.. Sanders has been in busi-
ness in Nogales for more than
seven years and is now at the head
of four Piggly Wiggly stores and
a wholesale grocery. Under Mr..
Sanders guidan-e and policies the
new concern is expected to pro-
gress by leaps and bounds.
The new grocery executive is a
firm believer in buying at home
and protecting any home industry
including the farmer, poultry
raiser and rancher. Practically al.
OF his life has been devoted to tbs
buying and selling of groceries.
He is considered one Of the best
posted men in his line in the coun-
try.
Clarence Saunders Of Memphis,
Tenn, was the founder of the
famous Piggly Wiggly grocery
system. Legal controversies, how
ever, caused his departure from
the original company to head a
new nationwide chain known as
the Clarence Saunders Sole Own
er of My Name Store.
Saunders fought in the courts
for permission to establish a COM
petitive firm after he was ousted
from Piggly Wiggly. The result
was that the courts handed down
the decision that he was "so,e
owner of his name," and legally
able to establish a firm under such
i title. His stores, therefore, will
be known as the Saunders Sole
Owner Stores.
The appointment of the local
man to head the Arizona and New
Mexico chain is a gesture of the
highest Importance and significant
of the statewide reputation
which Mr. Sanders has gained as
a business man. The Saunders
stores viii! spread like a network
over both Arizona and New Mex
leo in every city and town where
the population is large enough to
support a grocery store.
