GENEVA. May 8.--The American re-
nuncia.ion of war proposals has been
put squareIy up to the League OF Ma
;ions in letter to SIR Eric Drummond.
secretary general to the league, from
the Foreign Policy Association OF New
York.
The letter requests the secretary gen.
erals opinion as 10 whether insiStence
by the United States upon Its neutrality
rights In the event OF league action
against an aggresSor nation would rem
der ineffective the league penalties.
1t is also asked II European progress
toward disarmament arbitration would
be checked by doubt concerning the
American position on that subject.
Sir Eric Is now offleially visiting the
King OF Belgium. but the reaction here
to the American inquiries Is that II war
broke out and the United States failed
10 recognize the leagues police action
y might lead to serious consequences
! II the United States tried TO run the
blockade set up by the league the es-
tablished league states might conceiv-
ably bring the United States into con-
fict with league members.
On the other hand the impression
prevails In league circles that the United
States Is almost certain not TO oppose a
league action when taken against ma
tion which Is clearly the aggressof. and
when such action Is based on the high
motives Of maintenance OF peace.
