Treaty Changes
Are Spurned
by Premier.
TALK ON FRIDAY
MIGHT REVEALED
First Question by
President Held
Not Fortunate.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

While the conversati ons between
President Hoover and Premier
Laval regarding economic matters
can be considered as satisfactory,
the results of the political discus
sions thus far have been purely
negative.
The President and M. Laval
have agreed that the intergovern-
mental debt holiday which expires
on June 80, 1882 should not be ex-
tended and that the machinery of
the Young plan should be set in
motion again should Germany de-
clare that she is no longer in a
position to fulfill her obligations.
The President and M. Laval
were not able to come to an under
standing about any of the political
questions, of which the first to
be discussed was the revision Of
thesVersailles treaty with the pur-
pose of returning Germany the
Dantzig corridor.
Friday Night Interview.
The writer is able to give the first
account of the historic interview which
occurred last Friday night in the
library of the White House.
Only five men were gathered there.
President Hoover and Premier Laval,
the principal actors of the drama; Sec
rotary Stimson, the man chiefly re-
sponsible for having brought the two
leaders together; Ogden Mills, who
acted as interpreter for Mr.. Hoover,
and M. Bizot, who, in spite of his
somewhat faulty knowledge of the
English language was chosen as inter-
prefer for the French premier.
The tension which inevitably exists
when men are facing each ether to
discuss matters on whose issue de-
ponds not only. the future of the two
countries but that of the whole world,
had disappeared. A congenial dinner
had smoothed the path. Hoover and
Laval settled down to talk business,
determined to be as frank and out
spoken as two men who have nothing
to conceal from each other can be.
The President knew, in degree, the
French viewpoint. Laval, in turn, had
been fully informed as to how far the
President Of the United States could
go in the way of political agreements.
They both recognized the sore state of
our capitalistic world and surveyed in
a spirit of utmost cordiality and frank
ness the situation from the political

| GENEVA, October 24.-The council
of the League of Nations tonight called
on Japan to get out of the illegally

The councils next session will start
on the day set for the completion of

The appeal for complete evacuation
was voted by IS members of the council
over the single opposition of Kenkichi

AS Article XXI, under which the coun-
Gil acted, requires unanimity, this APP

Hope for pacific settlement of the

The event which will decide this. it

Japan in following-or disregarding-

There was general belief that the
council went as far as 1t could and that

however, said that diplomatic pressure

1t was pointed out that whereas Ja-

draw her troops as soon as possible,
today M. YoShizawa made no such un-
qualified promise. Thus retreat, rather
