OVER NAVY, MACDONALD DECLARES Labor Government Aims Shared by Conservatives, He Adds in Address to League. FULL AGREEMENT FORECAST BEFORE GENEVA SESSION ENDS Of Twenty Points Under Negotiation With Washington Only Three’ Are Not Settled, Premier States. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, September 3.—The British govern . ment “declines abso- lutely to build against the United States,” declared Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald int his disarmament speech before the League of Nations Assembly today. “That is not only ti he .word of a l:lbor government. I think 1 can say it is that of a Conservative government,” he added. MacDonald announced that the Anglo-American naval agree- ment probably would contain 20 pok nts. “Only 3 of these points are outstanding,” he sald. The Labor leader expressed belief the agreement would be completed before the adjournment of the Lenue’ Assembly. Peace Work of League Outlined. An atmosphere of expectancy pervaded the League "Assembly when the British Labor leader began his address. The work of the League will go forward and establish the founda- tions of world peace and the problem of the League of Nations is| the problem of security, he said. “The pact of peace is still 2 cas! League is to build up a foundation MacDonald declared he neve could or would fail. Commenting on the situation in Pal- estine, MacDonald said the trouble was not a racial conflict between Jews and Moslems, but merely an uprising based on lawlessness and disorder. Great Britain, as the mandate power under the League, will investigate and find A remedy to prevent recurrence of the outbreaks, he sald. Will Sign Court Clauses, The labor premier announced that Great, Britain had decided to sign the optional clauses for adherence to the World Court. He believed all units of the British commonwealth would do likewise. “One of the greatest risks of war is that some of us are too heavily armed,” sald MacDonald. “We must face the problem of disarmament with undi- vided minds. Still the risk of war breaking out is now' much less than the h of maiftaining peace.” He empl that Anglo-American nego- tiations are”in no way s conspiracy #gainst oplier nations. Dealing with the economic situation, the British prime minister said the as- sembly. of 1 League must face prob- lems of tariffs, ‘“Farili barriers be- tween producer and consumer are not Justified by experience,” he sald. MacDonald recommended the trans- formation of political agres ts into economic agreements, - which would make for economic freedom. MacDonald in Spetlight. Premier MacDonald had the sat- isfaction of hea his informal re- marks yesterday taken'as striking the theme of the entire trend of present- day international relations. Two prin- cipla facts were gleaned from the long informal conversations with the foreign correspondents. The first of these was that Mr. Mac- Donald’s proposed American trip in October is not nearly so certain as some have thought. The second is that the prime minister and Ambassador Dawes have made considerable and unex- pected progress toward evolving a basis for world-wide naval reduction. Mr. MacDonald could not say at the present time whether he would be able to make the American trip. Much as he wanted to, he said, the delicate sit- uation in the House of s, where his_government has not a majority, easily may prevent his going to Wash- ington. The premier also took occasion to warn the newspaper men against mis- chief-makers who would attempt to construe any negotiations between the two as indicating an Anglo-American naval agreement to the exclusion of the other naval powers. “The problem is not between America and ourselves.” he said. “If we come to the most magnificent agreement re- rding armies, navies, air forces, etc..| tocol 2 [y gap” by naming as the aggressor tnat | At second.

GENEVA, September 3.—The great sidering a way to supplement the League covenant by the Kel renunciatio; War. Was in League eircles to- day that the British delegation propostd to recommend study of the League covenant with the idea of bringing it into harmony with the Kellogg pact. ‘There is at present a gap sought to fill, P.rqn:h 7 of article xv gives mem- bers of the such action fails to reach unani aggression. ‘The problem is to find out whether the covenant can be so amended by weaving in the underlying idea of the Kellogg pact, which outlaws aggressive wars, without attempting in any way to modify the Kellogg pact itself. League leaders areworried over this “war gap” in the covenant. - ‘The British, in particular, are said to wish to explore the whole field to dis- cover whether 2 way cannot be found to merge the Kellogg pact with the covenant. Now that the Kellogg pact has be- come effective, many League leaders ex- pect that the United States, although outside the League, would accept the verdict of the League Council as to the identity of the aggressor in any quar- rel. They think America would aban- don its traditional claim to neutrality in war time and at the very least de- cide to give no economic aid and hold no commercial relations with the nation labeled by Geneva as the aggressor. ‘The paragraph in the Geneva pro- had attempted to fill the “war nation which refused arbitration of any quarrel.
