the Border highway. that to South

The pact was officially brought to
the attention Of the League by Great
Britain as q matter which is evil
IDENTIFY 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 ia
the reduction Of ornaments.
The British communication did moi
include the text of the Kellogg pact
but merely the text of Britain's
notes interpreting the proposals. In
covering note Great Britain said
that in considering the American
proposal the government had beer
at great pains to assure itself that
acceptance "would not involve any
inconsistency with obligations result
ing from the League covenant"
Britain remarked that communi-
cations to Washington make clear
that there is no such conflict. The
request was made that the British
communication be sent to all mem
bers of the League because 1.-THE
matter is evidently one of general
interest to all League members"
