KELLOGG PACT DUE =.
FOR LEAGUE ACTION
Proposal to Harmonic Cove
nant With Anti-War Treaty
Coming Up.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September l7.-Proposals
seeking to bring the covenant of the
League of Nations into closer harmony
with the Kellogg pact for the renuncia-
ton of war as an instrument of ma
tional policy will be taken up by COM
mittee of the League of Nations As
sembly shortly.
A British suggestion is for modifying
the League covenant SO as to incor-
porate within it an agreement for the
remuneration OF war, while Peru Is Of
fering a resolution having as its u1ti-
mate purpose the inclusion Of the KEEL
logg pact in the League covenant.
Announcement was made today that
Peru and Nicaragua have joined the
World Court, making the total number
OF members 81.
Signatures to the protocol looking to-
ward American accession to the court
today had reached a total Of 30.
A British proposal which in effect re-
opens the question Of trained army re-
serves in considering the basis for gen.
eral disarmament met further delay in
the disarmament committee, and Will
scarcely be presented to that body be-
fore tomorrow. The French delegation
Is opposing the proposal.
The committee meanwhile struggled
with the details of a, scheme for giving
financial assistance to any nation the
victim of aggression or the threat of
aggression. Here, too, there seemed q
stiff conflict of attitude as between the
French and British. They differed with
regard to the procedure OF the League
Council when there is a threat of war.
A subcommittee which is seeking to
conciliate the diverging ideas Is under
stood to have been unable thus far to
find an acceptable compromise.

sees in the situation Is to make parking
restrictions that would be practical.
Mr.. Harland said there would be
difficulty in enforcing that because
signs would have to be posted and
changed with each six months. He
added, however, that he would like to
talk with police officials regarding that.
Senator Hastings declared that in his
opinion to announce that no all-night
parking would be permitted after a
certain date would be too revolution
airy to consider. Senator Kean agreed
with this, reiterating that he was not
in favor OF such move. He said, how
ever, he thought 1t could be done on a
few streets to start with, gradually ap-
plying the restriction to additional
streets from time to time.
Referring to the need for q title law,
Senator Hastings declared that unques-
tionably Washington and any other
area that has no title law becomes q
dumping ground for stolen automobiles
The Senators questioned Mr.. Harland
as to the various fees motorists pay
here. At first they indicated they
thought. the tag charge Of 81 was low,
but when the traffic director explained
| that there Is also personal tax on
automobiles at the rate of $1.70 per 500
OF value. Senator Hastings said he
guessed the nnotorist is paying enough.
Policeman in Every Block.
With regard to parking, Senator Hast
ings said he supposed there would have
to be a policeman for every square to
bring about full enforcement.
Director Harland added that there
are SO many cars from out of town
in addition to- the large number be-
longing here that even If the time
limits were completely enforced, there
would also be car ready to pull into
parking space being vacated, so that
the only advantage Of full enforcement
would be to give more motorists O
chance to park for a short time.
On the subject of automobile in
surance, Director Harland recommended
system which he said New York and
other places had adopted. Under that
system, he said, as long as q driver
is careful and observes all regulations,
he is not affected, but that when q
motorist Is convicted of violating
major traffic law, his permit would be
suspended and not restored until he had
established his responsibility. The d.
rector said this method does not pen
alize careful drivers.

sation toward submarines, which both
England and America are considered
willing to eliminate.
French naval experts have generally
asserted that underwater craft were
essential to French defense, and GER
tain newspapers have today seized upon
submarines" as sympomatic Of "a
combination against France"
In circles close to naval authorities
It Is admitted that France Is unlikely
to accede to any measure eliminating
submarines.
But in authoritative quarters the
general attitude Is "let US see what hap
pens ct tine conference" For these
quarters the pourparlers at London and
Washington are simply Q question Of
ironing out differences between the.
two nations which have hitherto been
farthest apart in their conception Of
the naval reduction problem.
when the United States and Great
Britain have settled their outstanding
differences, the parley Of the i've pow
ers can begin without being foredoomed
10 failure as In the past" is the view
held.
But France does not expect to have
hard and fast agreement presented
to her to take or to leave. That y
why ofEacial circles are mute for the
moment. They hold that much must
depend on the conversation between
the i've powers for arranging the pro-
gram for the parley.
The French are equally silent con-
corning the claims OF italy as Medi-
terranean power. sI,et us walt and
see'' Is the oficisl attitude.

sion Of illicit traffic in narcotics.

are manufactured to confer as TO the
possibility of reaching an agreement on

GROUPS DISAGREE

Senate Faces Task of CIari-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
At the very beginning Of Its long dis
cussion of the controversial sections Of
the tariff bill. the Senate today found
itself plunged into the task Of Clarity
i1g the sharply different viewpoints Of
the regular and independent Republican
groups.
Although the highly controversial ad-
ministrative and special sections Of the
bill were the business before the cham
Der, the opening clash conferred on the
more general disagreement over the
proposed rate increases for industrial
as well as agricultural commodities.
McNary Leads Group.
Following up. that clash. which was
for the independent viewpoint, and
Reed of Pennsylvania for the regulars,
Republican and some Democratic SEN
ators from the Western and Northwest
ern agricultural States, under the lead
ership of McNary of Oregon, were pre-
pairing to confer with view to united
action. Many Of them have expressed
dissatisfaction with the proposals re-
lating to lumber, shingles, logs, wool,
manganese, fruits and nuts.
Emphasizing the stand Of the Senas
AAOAu WAC o6A AShAuuA "a 9uotCo, 0OLd1k
commended that this bill Is not exc
cuted in justice to the agricultural In
terests," and argued that, with in
dustrial profits increasing, with exports
increasing and imports decreasing, we
have on the other hand the constantly
falling income and profits Of agricul-
ture."
Although the agricultural spokesman
got all they asked for in the Fordney-
McCumber act of 1922, he said, the in
dustrial increases written into that law
established disparity" In the relative
advantages Of agriculture and industry
which the pending bill failed to equal
ize. Further increases in industrial
rates, he commended, were unnecessary.
Written ON Equality Basis.
Reed retorted that the finance COM
mittee. OF which he Is member, had
written the bill on the theory that ALI
Americans were equal" and asserted
that, instead Of violating Republican
campaign pledges, 1t had fulfilled them
in its efforts to provide additional pro-
lection for manufacturing industries,
which were suffering from competition
not adequately provided against in the
1922 act.
I'VE hear an abundance of sneers,"
he remarked. Pretended conversations
are recited indicating callousness on our
part toward the farmer
Il want to assure the Senator that no
Republican pledge has been forgotten in
this bill"
