garding the extent to which the

Chairman Hale CRep.. Me- of the

Macdonald Almost Ready
With Anglo american
Agreement Terms.
POWERS SESSION NEXT
Successful Farley Is Likely
to Clarity Other Arms
Questions.
BY HENRY WOOD
United Press STAFF Correspondent

GENEVA, Sept. 4-Premier Ram
say MacDonald's announcement OF
an approaching Anglo-American
naval agreement was regarded today
at the League of Nations assembly
rs one of the greatest postwar
strides toward peace since conclu-
sion Of the Kellogg pact.
MacDonald's announcement that
he would be in position to place the
terms of the proposed agreement
before the assembly prior to the
close Of the present session will
make it possible for the assembly to
organize more definitely the work
of the preparatory disarmament
commission which is to meet in the
middle of November.
The Anglo-American agreement
undoubtedly will envisage, as the
next step, a five-power naval con
terence, and the assembly is there
fore expected to instruct the pre-
paratory disarmament commission
to confne its deliberations at the
November meeting to questions con-
corning military and aerial arma-
ments, leaving the naval aspects of
the situation alone until the i've
powers will have come to an agree
ment.
Agreement Easier
It was admitted today, however,
the general prospects of an agree
ment among the naval powers will
render easier an agreement on
military and aerial differences.
Members of the assembly were
especially enthusiastic over the
viewpoint of both Macdonald and
President Hoover that disarmament
must be approached not from the
standpoint OF preparation for war
but from a sincere conviction that
the nations intend henceforth TO
settle their disputes peacefully and
regard naval ornaments necessary
only insofar as they were needed to
protect commerce, trade routes and
overseas territories.
In the address delivered Tues
day by NJ. Adatchi, japanese am
bassador to France, the assembly
perceived a hopeful sign that
Japan, as one Of the five powers,
would place no serious obstacle in
the path of naval disarmament.
Senator Raoul Dandurand, Cana
dian delegate, announced in the
assembly that Canada also will sign
the optional clause of The Hague
court protocol during the present
assembly.
It was the first response from the
dominions of MacDcnald's plea for
imperial adherence to compulsory
arbitration of the court in juridic-
tional disputes.
China Wants Revision
China's determination to liberate
her territories from foreign inf1u-
ence and control came forcefully to
light when Chao Chu WI, Chinese
minister to the United States, adj
dressing the assembly, appealed for
the revision of unequal and obso-
lete" treaties.
Wu's appeal strengthened the con-
viction in many league circles that
behind China's seizure of the Chi
nese-Eastern railroad lay the resolve
to make the expulsion of Russian
influence from Manchuria the first
big step in a general movement to
rid the country of all foreign CO.
nomic and political influence.
The demand for the revision of
the old treaties would affect Great
Britain and Japan as well as Russia.
