MCDONALD SPEECH
PERTURBS BRITAIN
London Post DepIores Pledge
OF Premier to World Court
Optional Clause.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 4.-The London
press today showed some perturbation
at the extent Of Prime Minister Ramsay
MacDonald's commitments in his speech
yesterday before the Assembly Of the
League OF Nations at Geneva.
The Morning Post Conservative
particularly deplored that ''the British
government pledged itself to the
optional clause" of the World Court, the
effect OF which will be to submit to the
international court any points of law
in which there may be a serious differ
ence Of opinion between members of the
League.
The Post warned that IAN English
king declined to kiss the toe of an
emperor and that an English church
refused to accept its order from pope.
England Fought not one, but several
wars rather than submit to any CONT
mental domination. And If at so great
cost we freed ourselves from foreign
yoke, we should beware how we fall
under the authority of Geneva"
Post Doubts Approval.
The Post doubted that If the British
people understood this step they would
sanction 1t, whether or no the British
government led the way in the sur
render Of what to free-born Britons
should be very dear-their national lib
erty."
The Times concerned itself more with
Premier MacDonald's American trip.
Referring to his Geneva speech it said:

ing word from France and Germany OF
their reactions to Premier MacDonalds
speech yesterday.
British premier was very warmly con-
graduated by the German delegation,
Premier BRAND OF France remained ST.
lent In his seat.
Tomorrow both M. BRAND and DR..
Gustav Stresemann, head OF the Ger
man delegation, are to speak. what
they have to say is awaited with scarce
~ less interest than was the speech OF
Mr.. Macdonald.
Oficial Text Quoted.
The official transcript of Mr.. Mac
Donald's address quoted him as say
ing: "Our conversations have not yet
ended, but the agreement has gone very
far. We do not know quite what form
it will take and can say nothing that
would In any way hamper President
Hoover in his work.
but I think we might produce q
document that would have something
like 20 points Of agreement IN it-a
very comprehensive document. 1t Is
a great pleasure to me to know that II
it runs to, say, 20 points, there are
only 3 Of 20 outstanding at the present
moment.
II am not at all SURE can make
no comment and please do not allow
your expectations to 60 unreasonably
high-but I am not at all sure but
that even Ii the announcement can
not be made before must leave, an
announcement of the agreement may
be made before this assembly will come
to an end"
The British spokesman said that II
the premier mentioned and hoped for
an agreement composed OF 20 points
he presumably had q reason for it.
He thought it was conceivable that
the status of negotiations In the United
States might be known only to Presi-
dent Hoover and Secretary Of State
Stimson.
Some European newspaper men got
the impression from the prenlier's re-
cent conference with the press that he
might go to Washington after all, as
planned.
Commenting on this impression. the
British spokesman today said that Mr..
Macdonald did not wish to make def
mite announcement that he was certain
to 60 to the United States, because IL
affairs Of state kept him In England at
the last moment changed plans might
cause a misunderstanding, creating the
impression something had gone wrong
with the naval negotiations.
Leaves Question Open.
The spokesman indicated that Mr..
Macdonald preferred to leave the Ques-
ton open, but had nevertheless firm
Intention Of going to Washington.
The assembly decided yesterday to
hurry on with the question Of amend
mentS to the statutes of the Permanent
Court Of International Justice, or World
Court, as 1t is more widely known. and
of the revised protocol framed under
the leadership of Elihu Root for ad-
heSion Of the United States to the court.
This would permit the assembly as
whole to approve the text Of the
American protocol before it is taken up
formally by special court conference.

ct la>edly tends to abate surprise and
uneasiness created by certain passages
of his statement Monday. To the or
binary reader those passages appeared
to throw doubt on whether the pre-
mier's visit to the United States would
be carried out this, Fail.
1.-THE reason given for the apparent
hesitation on the American visit was
the difficulties Of the parliamentary
situation difficulties more apparent to
himself than to impartial political stu
dents. The abandonment Of the Amer
lean visit, except under a pressure Of
patent memorable necessity, would be
blow to hopes built on 1t on both
sides of the Atlantic.
Unfortunately, Mr.. MacDonald's
speech. does little to dissipate misgiv-
ings which his word "a hours before
aroused In many minds"
The Liberal Star suggested That the
LEADERS of the British opposition give
the premier, before he leaves, firm as
surances, that the exigencies he fears
will not arise and that when he goes
to Washington it will not be as the
leader of the Labor government, but as
the spokesman of the whole nation
on this vital issue.

HOOVER CONFERS
ON NAVAL SLASH
Stimson and Experts on War
ships With President
Two Hours.
tcontInued Prom First pagel

Continued From First Page)
Prime Min:~~S- Macdonald, on the basis
of the naval needs Of each country, were
able to decide. tentatively upon the
year 1886 as that In which parity could
be reached.
Conference in Future.
Any naval accord between the powers,
now hoped for late this year, also
would be expected to expire in 1885,
Another conference could be called at
that time to consider a revision Of the
hoped for agreement on the formula
ton Of a new one.
The attitude in Washington is that
an agreement carrying beyond six or
seven years loses its purpose and I'M
duly restricts the naval powers, not per-
uniting them to take advantage of
changes in construction and changes in
world conditions.
Although there are hopes here that
q naval conference can be called by
Prime Minister Macdonald later. this
year, 1t has been emphasized that the
holding of a general parley must nee.
eSSartly depend upon the reaching OF
an agreement between the United States
and Great Britain on principles and
basic factors.
Hale States Position.
Chairman Hale Of the Senate naval
committee is of the opinion that all of
the warships authorized by the IS
cruiser law eventually will be built in
spite of President Hoover's action in
poStponing the construction of three
of the vessels.
The committee chairman expressed
this view late yesterday after a confer
ence with the Chief Executive, assert
ing that the cruisers were requirements
that must be built regardless Of any
agreement that may be reached with
Great Britain.

LATIN AMERICA FACES
LEAGUE SEAT PROBLEM
Nations Must Name Successor to
Chile, With Choice Between
Peru and Uruguay.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA. September 4.-Fourteen
Latin American countries now particle
pating in the Assembly Of the League
Of Nations here are confronted with
the delicate problem as to which Latin
American country they will support for
a seat on the council Of the League in
succession to Chile, whose term expires
this year.
Peru appeals to the largest number
Of Latin American nations, but Uruguay
also would like to succeed Chile on the
council. Unless Latin American nations
go before the assembly In complete
agreement concerning one candidate, it
is feared Scandinavian countries will
reopen their old campaign to reduce
the number Of Latin American seats
on the council from three to two.
This movement Is based upon the
contention that the gentlemen'S agree
ment that three council places should
always go to Latin America no longer
is justified because Argentina has not
yet resumed cooperation with the
League and because Brazil has re-
signed.

in Recent Dispute.

BY the ASSociated PresS.
GENEVA. September 4.-Dr. @. O.
WI, Chinese Minister to Washington,
today declared China believed in the
League Of Nations and was loyal to it,
in an address before the Assembly ses-
sion this morning.
Before the Kellogg pact came into
force, DR.. WI said, China had an
nounced its intention Of abiding by the
principles of the pact and had OBJ
served the min the recent Sino- Russian
dispute in Manchuria.
China had learned by experience,
however, that the nation which does not
defend itself against external aggression
failed to secure peace. Nevertheless,
China was still devoted to peace and for
the movement for disarmament.
DR.. WI praised Premier Ramsay Mac
Donald's declaration yesterday for equal
justice for the ancient peoples of the
Far East as the finest expression by a
responsible statesman since Woodrow
Wilson voiced the aspirations Of the
weaker nations 10 years ago.
Then referring to article 10 of the
League covenant, which provides for re-
vision Of treaties which have become
obsolete, DR.. WI said the article was
intended to deal with situations which,
If left smoldering, might become q
menace to international peace.

FAIL TO IDENTIFY BODY
AS THATs0F SWISS FL YER
Corpse, Buried on Portuguese
Beach Found ito Be Beyond Rec
IGNITION when Disinterred.

BY the Associated Press. -
LISBON, Portugal, September A.
Chances Of identifying the body washed
ashore at Ericeira Beach and buried as
that Of one, Of the two young Swiss
aviators who disappeared during an at
tempted flight to New York seemed
slim tonight.
Antonio Faria, director Of the Lisbon
radio Station, who was constant COM
parion sof the ayiators during their
short stay here early in August, was
unable to identify the body because of
its condision. Doubt was cast on the
tentative Identification by the fact that
some Of the clothes showed the name
of a Portuguese: tailor. The body still
had aviator's goggles attached and no
Portuguese aviator has been reported
lost.
1t was possible that other friends of
Oscar Kaeser or Kurt Luescher would
he called in in an effort to determine
finally whether the body was that OF
either Of them.

GENEVA, September 4 [P).-Premier
Ramsay Macdonald was asked today
to clarity his statement that only 3
points were outstanding of 20 or more
to a complete naval reduction accord
between the United States and Great
Britain.
A spokesman replied that he was un-
able to do so. and explained that the
premier was the only man in England
outside Gen. Dawes, the American Am
bassador, who actually knew what was
going on in the naval conversations.
The premier's optimistic references
Yesterday to the nearneSS OF q COM
plete agreement between the worlds
two great naval powers was most mysti-
flying to delegations of other countries
here and to the countrymen OF the
British premier themselves.
Actual Progress Debated.
Some French newspapers and the
press of other countries have insisted
recently the conversations have not
made such progress as had been
ascribed to them, but from the premier's
words it was gathered an accord prac-
tically was on the verge of conclusion.
League circles specialized as to the
identity of the three points. The sug-
gestion was heard that perhaps one
Of the three was that of cruisers. The
cruiser strength Of the two countries
is the principal problem confronting
naval agreement hopes and has, because
of its difficulties, been bar to material
nrn0reSS heretofore
Another complicating factor was the
distinctly cool tone of London and
Washington dispatches regarding re-
action to the premier's speech yester-
day. The British press seemed to re-
