LEAGUES. SUPPORT
IS CLIMBING HERE
Three Government Officials
viii Participate in Meet
ings at Geneva.

~ the Associated Press.
An upward climb in the extent of
r United States participation in the
League of Nations non-political activ-
ities was seen yesterday in official
Washington as at least three Govern
ment officials prepared to take part in
coming months IN League meetings.
Since 1920, it was estimated, United
States officials had taken part in APP
proximately 90 League meetings or
conferences, acting either as official
delegates, expert advisers or unofficial
participants.
Official and unofficial records show
far heavier participation since 1927
than in the seven previous years. This
was contrasted however. with the en-
tire abstention of the United States
from League of Nations political ac-
tivities, and was attributed to the in
creased activities of the League along
humanitarian lines.
Meanwhile. it was held virtually as
sured in most Government quarters that
Frank B. Kellogg. former Secretary of
State, would be elected by the League
Assembly. this month, to the bench of
the World Court.
Kellogg was nominated by the Amer
ican panel. composed of Elihu Root.
Newton D. Baker, Roland Boyden and
John Bassett intoxicating in a nom
governmental capacity-to fill the va
cancy left by the resignation of
Charles Evans Hughes at the time he
became Chief Justice of the United
States
While Officials were reluctant to COM
inent on the policies likely to be fol-
lowed by Kellogg it was said freely that
the peace indedness" of the former
SnNrefarU State would
strongly felt in the Court
John K. Caldwell of the State De-
partment is expected to be one of the
United States representatives at the
conference on limitation of the manu-
facture Of narcotic drugs. to be held,
probably, next month. Also. if prece-
dent is followed this country will be
represented by a stable group at the
seventh session of the preparatory
commission for disarmament confer
ence.
George r. Putnam, Department of
Commerce lighthouse commissioner, has
been appointed delegate to the Leagues
conference on the unification of buoy
age and lighting of coasts, to be held in
Lisbon, Portugal, october 6. Miss
Grace Abbott, chief of Childrens Blu
reau of the Labor Department, is now
in Europe in connection with the
League investigation into traffic in
women and children in the East.
Sending official delegates to League
conferences by the United States did
not begin until 1924, and since that
time 10 conferences have been partici-
pated in. This country began its CO.
operation through expert advisers and
consultants as early as 1920. however,
and has aided in approximately 40
meetings.
