LUCIANO MEET
TO TOUCH ON
u S. STANDS
League of Nations
Session Opening To-
day Is to Deal With
World Court
CBy MELVILLE f. COLEMAN. Cable
Editor, The Associated Press.)

Lugano where the council of the
League Of Nations opens its fifty
third session today, will be the CEN
ter of interest this week for Eu-
rope's international politicians. The
omen program involves questions in
which the United States has a dis
tinct interest, notably the discussion
Of the rules for the court Of inter-
national justice, n subject which
arose through the country's reser-
walton that il must have the right
Of vetoing submission to the court
Of any subject in which there was
direct American consideration.
The council is to debate arms and
armament in connection with the
failure last week Of a special COM
mission at Geneva to frame a tenta-
tive convention for control Of the
manufacture of weapons and NUM-
tions. That conference agreed to
disagree, splitting over the old sub
ject Of publicity or the products of
government a%rsenals-
AT Lugano Aristide BRAND of
France, Gustav Stresemann Of Ger
many and Austen Chamberlain Of
Great Britain will meet "eye 70 eye"
for the first time in nine months
and while il has been agreed that
Germany's wal reparations payments
are temporarily out Of the i%nterna-
tional field until the projected COM
, mission OF experts has reported
| some months hence. there is every
probability that the three foreign
ministers will have something 10
say 60 each other bearing on that
subject.
In several countries domestic af-
fairs have been foremost in the pub
lie mind. The British have been
watching. anxiously the illness of
King George and the French have
had their attention distracted by
the dissipation Of an investment
bubble which has reduced French
savings by $4,000 900.
! In JuGo-Slavia the Croat separatist
movement raj into firmer resistance
hy the Serbian elements when the
Belgrade cabinet appointed an army
colonel as project at ZaEreh. The
Croatian leaders denounced this step
as imposing upon the Croats a ty-
ranny that not eve the Austrian
Hungarian empire dared equal in
its days Of pre-war might.
