DISCOUNTS LEAGUE ARBITRATION PACT Tardieu Warns Against Overoptimism—Thinks Ge- neva Overshot Mark. BY ANDRE TARDIEU. Dy Radio to The Star. PARIS, October 4.—The Geneva protocol was finally adopted this weck after many hitehes. but this does not signify that it will be rati- fed by the governments and parila- ments of the nations whose delegate. voted for it. And particularly it does not signify that even if ratified it will represent anything real Premier Benes himself, one of the principal authors, admitted frankly that the pact tells what ought to be done but does not necessarily what will be done. Great Britain m clear that in the case of crisis each | zovernment remains frée to deter- mine to what extent to collaborate in repressing aggression. and the league itself will control neither troops nor ships. Warns of Ilusion: Signor Scialoia of Italy stated still more plainly as follows .ot us not lusion in the us not assert that we have war forever. In these stances M. Briand's emphatic spe crying vietory scems premature even perilous The development Geneva plan itself may bring pe Suppose, for example, that with dis agreement still existing on interpre tation of the protocol, the long- promised disarmament conference is called. No possible good can result wnd much evil. It o plain that Ly attempting too and taking of peoples ended circun nferces have touched questions they know nothing about and stirred up trouble instead of appeasing it as when they aroused Japan to offer an amendment which raised the most complex and difficult problem of the Pacific and produced the most und rable effect in Amer- 1R, When a hastily drafted document | like this determines that the protocol apply in any manner to such ns as immigration and diffi- es which may arise therefrom, it simply proves that the delegates 4o not know the first thing about| this ques which, however, is not new Tmagine stirring up such a delicate matter only a few weeks after the passage of the new American immigra- tion law and the diplomatic correspond- ence which accompanicd its passage. ieneva apparently do not suspect that Japanese-American quarrel in 1906, renewed in 1924, rests more on principle than mere prac- tice As far as practive is concerned the question was settled by a gentle- | men’'s agreement in 1907 by Japan herscif prevented o to America But then, as now, gress objected strongly to method and insisted on settling the | matter by American law rather than | by diplomacy since it was a domestic | question 1 What has just been done at Geneva | can only for Congress will rtainly see in the | Geneva protocol a reflection on their latest vote. A stranger paradox is that the dele- | '® gutes db not seem to know that the Hague Court to which disputes must be submitted has already fixed juris prudence on this question and has decided in favor of the American viewpoint instead of the Japanese. Concerning the Franco-British di pute over the question in Tunis. | Moroceo, the court handed down a decision in which it says “The question of whether a cer- tain matter is or is not solely within | the jurisdiction of the’ State is an| essentially relative question.
