 Taking a bold and progressive step to make the covenant at least as strong as the Kellogg renuncia- ton of war pact the British labor government today introduced a reso- lution into the assembly calling for revision of the league covenant so that henCcforth war may be really banished, as under the Kellogg act.
 The resolution was introduced by Foreign Secretary Arthur Henderson of Great Britain. and was made in behalf also of France, Italy, Bel gium, Chile, an1 Denmark.
 Germany Approves
 Greet applause broke forth from delegates and auditor when Mir. Henderson, in reSoll 1t tones which reached the r"motast corners of the hall, announced that the British resolution also had the support of the German delegation.
 The resolution says that the tenth assembly Of the League of Nations notes with satist lCi0n the gene11l adherence of states that are mem bers of the leagIo, to ;hc Paris pact, devised by former Secretary of State Kellogg :nd Premier Briand, which imposes on it's sign ltories the re- nunciation Of war as an instrument of national policy.
 It considers that the assembly should take account of the progress thus made, and deems it desirable to examine articles 12 and Is Cf the covenant to determine whether it is necessary to make qualifications in them.
