GENEVA. Sept. 16.-The Kellogg
treaty in its influence on the League

achieved virtual solution of all in

Levinson, Chicago lawyer, who is
reputed to have inspired the pact,
told the press today.
Thanks to a change in enlight-
ened European public opinion, the
peace pact is fast becoming the SOL
vent of all international problems
and European relations" Levinson
said. THE work of the present as
sembly intensely reflects and crys-
tallizes the progressive development
of European opinion in the last two
years against war.
at has placed the world court on
a parity without federal supreme
court in reliance upon public opin-
ion and the plighted word for en-
forcement of its decisions in SOW
ereign disputes"
I'VE now have the reality of the
world peace court responding to the
pacific means pledged by the peace
for the settlement of disputes.
Another great move toward jurid-
icial equality of nations has been
made by revision of the court
statutes requiring the consent of the
disputant nation as a prerequisite
OF the courts granting an advisory
opinion"

It had been understood that only
a nominal French guard. under the

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. ia
real nonpartisan tariff commission is

Johnson intimated he will, support

President Hoover make known his

Forces seem to be divided about

what he wishes, it would be set

unless the President takes very
definite stand soon, it is not I'M
likely condition will arise similar

johnson says the whole mode Of
tariff making is a sad commentary
on our system"
Way back in the progressive days
of 1912" he said, 1--WE urged a nom
partisan tariff which scientifically
would determine what should be
done. A tariff commission was
created, and it was hoped the old
log-rolling method had passed. After
a brief period, however, the tariff

big interests and its primary pur-
pose was forgotten"

faces the cabinet of Premier BRAND.
Facing a heckling by Radical

parties of the right satisfactory
account of its policy in evacuation
of the Rhineland.
The conservatives are organizing
an offensive against the government
on the question of security and all
the processes governing evacuation.
1t was stated authoritatively to-
day that under The Hague and Gen
eva agreements, the Coblentz zone
will be free entirely of Allied occu-
patton troops within two months.
Two French infantry regiments
will return to Alsace-Lorraine. One
artillery regiment and brigade of
chaSseurs will be demobilized and
general orders will be issued that
no troops will be received into the
Rhineland.
The remainder of the second zone
troops will be dispersed among the
third zone army, so that towards
Christmas the French army of occu-
patton in Germany will number
about $4,000 men. These will be re-
tired before June 30, if Germany
fulfills the terms of The Hague
