T A LATIN AMERICA FACES LEAGUE SEAT PROBLEM Nations Must Name Successor to Chile, With Choice Between Peru and Uruguay. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, September 4.—Fourteen Latin American countries now psnlcl- pating in the Assembly of the of Nations here are confronted wlm the delicate problem as to which Latin American country they will support for a seat on the council of the League in succession to Chile, whose term expires this year. Peru appeals to the largest number of Latin American nations, but Uruguay also would like to succeed Chile on the council. Unless Latin- American nations 80 before the assembly in complete agreement concerning one candidate, it is feared Scandinavian countries will reopen their old campaign to reduce the number of Latin American seats on the council from three to two. This‘ movement is based upon the contention that the gentlemen's agree- ment that three council places should always go to Latin America no longer is justified because Argentina has not yet - resumed co-operation with the slf.mée and because Brazil has re- gned.

Hale States Position. Chairman Hale of the Senate naval i committee is of the opinion that all of the warships authorized by the 15- cruiser law eventually will be built in spite of President Hoover's action in postponing the construction of three of the vessels. The committee chairman expressed this view late yesterday after a confer- ence with the Chief Executive, assert- ing that the cruisers were replacements that must be built renrdlus of any agreement that may be reached with Great Britain. MACDONALD IS MUM. Premier Does Not Elaborate in Speech to League. GENEVA, September 4 ().—Premier Ramsay MacDonald was asked today to clarify his statement that only 3 points were outstanding of 20 or more to a complete naval reduction accord between the United States and Great | Britain. A spokesman replied that he was un- able to do so, and explained that the premier was the only man in England outside Gen. Dawes, the American Am- bassador, who actually knew what was going on in the naval conversations. The premier's optimistic references | yesterday to, the nearness of a com- plete agreement between the world's | two great naval powers was most mysti fying to delegations of other countries here and to the countrymen of the British premier themselves. Actual Progress Debated. Some French newspapers and the press of other countries have insisted recently the conversations have not made such progress as had been ascribed to them, but from the premier's words it was gathered an accord prac- tically was on the verge of conelusion. League circles speculated as to the identity of the three points. The sug- gestion was heard that perhaps one of the three was that of cruisers. The cruiser strength of the two countries is the principal problem confronting naval ment hopes and has, because of its difficulties, been a bar to material progress heretofore. Another complicating factor was the | distinetly cool tome of London and | ‘Washington dispatches regarding re-| action to the premier’s speech yester- day. The British press seemed to ".i West Eastl now—in the Fall. Hotel rates lower. Cafes uncrowded. Operas and theatres opening. Shops aglow with new § Fall and Winter models.

September 25— 5-DAYS, 6 HOURS TO EUROPE A “Consult your locel Steamship Agent UNITED for rates and accommodations, or STATES LINES s before this assembly will come in end.” 'rhe British spokesman said that if the premier mentioned and hoped for an agreement composed of 20 points he m-uumnhly had a reason for it. ht it was conceivable that the nlt.ux of negotiations in the United States might be known only to Presi- dent Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson. Some Luropean newspaper men got the impression from the premer's re- cent conference with the press that he might go to Washingten after all, as planned. commendn. on this impression, the British esman today said that Mr. Mchonlld dld not 'l.sh to make defl- nite announcement that he was certain to go to the United States, because if affairs of state kept him in England at the last moment changed plans might cnuu a misunderstanding, creating the impression something had gone wrong wll-h the naval negotiations. Leaves Question Open. The spokesman indicated that Mr. MacDonald preferred to leave the ques- tion open, but had nevertheless a firm intention of going to Washington. ‘The assembly decided yesterday to hurry on with the question of amend- ments to the statutes of the Permanent Court of International Justice, or World Court, as it is more widely known, and of the revised protocol framed under to a the leadership of Elihu Root for ad- | hesion of the United States to the court. This would permit the assembly as a whole to approve the text of the American protocol before it is taken up formally by a special court conrerence.' Ex-Polish Premier Dies.

London Post Deplores Pledge of Premier to World Court Optional Clause. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, September 4 —The London press todey snowed some perturbation at the extent of Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald's commitments in his speech yesterday before the Assembly of the of Nations at Geneva. Morning (Conservative) ¢ | particularly deplored that “the British government pledged itself to the optional clause” of the World Court, the effect of which will be to submit to the international court any points of law in which there may be a serious differ- ence of uplnlnn between members of the g e Post warned that “an lish king declined to kiss the toe of an emperor and that an English church refused to accept its order from a pope. England fought not one, but several wars rather than submit to any conti- nental domination. And if at so great a cost we freed ourselves from a foreign yoke, we should beware how we fall r the authority of Geneva.” Post Doubts Approval. The Post doubted that if the British people un: this step they would sanction it, “whether or no the British government led the way in the sur- render of what to free-born Britons srlfld be very dear—their national lib- erty.” ‘The Times concerned itself more with Premier MacDonald's American trip.
