New Protocol

GENEVA. Switzerland. Sept. 10.
W.Pj-Efforts were made by league
delegates today 20 save the proposed
new protocol of the World Court,
which Cuha's objections have
blocked.

prevent American membership on
the tribunal.
The judicial commission Of the
league, which is handling the matter,
adjourned until tomorrow. Hoping
To gain time.
The protocol would become effcc-
