PARIS, January 5,—The parties comprising the left—that is the mod- erate radicals, the socialists, and the extremists and communists—have ended a spirited campaign to capture the majority of the 116 seats in the senate, which are to be contested in elections tomorrow.

This conference will be the first league affair attended by Argentina | since Honorio Pueyrredon left the first assembly, when that body refused to ratify amendments to the league covenant proposed by the Argentina | including one whereby all states would be considered members of the league unless they definitely declined membership. Since that time Argentina’s atti- tude has been uncertain, although she never resigned formally from the leaguc. The promise of her pres- ence at the naval conference, al- though in a limited capacity, pleased league circles, where it is hoped this step will be the forerunnmer of her complete returns to a part In the activ- ities of the league. Soviet Russia also is expected to attend the con- ference, which probably will meet in Rome or London, opening about February 1. The conference is con- sidered to have assumed added im- portance through the expected repre- sentation of these two powers. H The United States probably will be tnformed of the place and date'of the meeting as a matter of courtesy, as she will be the only great power not participating. Her presence, even as an observer, probably would be welcomed al- though officlals say no decision has been taken beyond informing Wash- ington of the program.

Creeden, s. 3., of Georgetown Unt- versity. Father Walsh wrote to President Creeden trom Rome, comfirming cable dispatches stating, that he had left Moncow. _While it was stated that Father Walsh had been compelled to leave by a serles of petty persecutions due to the refusal of Pope Plus XI to recognize the soviet government, Father Walsh's letter throws no light on this phase of the situation. He merely wrote that he had returned to Rome and would proceed to the United States soon. Coming to Capltal. According to Father Walsh, he will come directly to Washington to spend Father Walsh relinquished his posi- tion as regent of the school of foreign service nearly four years ago to join the American relief mission in Russia.
