Tt is understood that the French have been squnding out British Foreign | Minister Arthur Henderson particularly | in the last few days, on the appoint- ment of & special committee and that | he has not favored such a step thus| far. It was recalled today that M. | Briand, in his memorandum of May 17, suggested that while the federation be under the general direction of the League, it also should be a sepatate entity with its own secretariat and own | conferences for mutual European dis- eussion Some of the replies, notably that of Great Britain, combatted this plan and insisted that the new union be entirely within the League. Britain insisted that the plan should go before the as- semply while the Briand proposal was that it be studied first of all at the European conference which preceded the first meeting of the League Council, | Warm proponents of the Briand | plan felt that the routine proposal for | reference to the political commission, resided over by a non-European, Sir | bert Borden, was equivalent to put- ting it on ice until the assembly mm-\ ing next year.

Nicolas Pleitis, the Greek Minister of Paris, also devoted his address today to the Briand plan. Recalling the early | struggles of Aemrica under the Articles | of Confederation, he said the success of the plan would be slow and would be gained only at the expense of hard ex- perience and mistakes “Europe is at the ter Pleitis concluded. to anarchy and peace.” Tseuneo Matsudaira, chief of the Japanese delegation, expressed his coun- try'’s satisfaction at the results of the London Naval Conference. “Now that the question of naval dis- armament has entered on a phase of practical solution, my country awaits in a spirit of good will a moment in the near future when the time will be | ripe to envisage, under the auspices of the League, the whole problem of dis- armament,” the Japanese envoy said He declared Japan had in recent years voluntarily reduced her land forces to 17 divisions, representing about 65 per eent of her pre-war strength.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, September 15.—Termination of the relentless fight which has been waged around the world in Tecent years between the pow- | erful American and Swedish telephone corporations is forescen fcllowing the recent entry of Ivar Kreuger, Swedish match king and financier, and the toll | interests into the latter corporation. In virtually every country from Asia across Europe to South America, where nfl red, Telephone & T graph Co,, calling itsclf American, has | been pitted against the Swedish com- pany for government concessions. Any working agreement, Letweea (hese two world-wide communication companies will not overjoy the countries which have not granted a concession upon favorable competitive terms, “vhile the smaller American and German com- panies will be overshadowed by these giants. Kreuger a World Figure. The name of Ivar Kreuger, who is the organization and financial genius { the firm, appears seldom in the news- papers of the United States, but he is well known in the financial and politi- cal holy of holies in every capital of the world. . Kreuger himself, plain and un- assumihg, is seen in the streets of Stockholm cne day, then flits quietly to another capital for loans of several millions, and is back again with the same quiet reserve. Within a few years since the war, his house, the world-wide investment trust of Kreuger & Toll, is said to have ex- | tended loans to more foreign gove | ments than any other house in Eurcpe America Its certificates are the only ones which are international, being valid in all countries, others being issued for particular countries. The company’s realty securities have also spread to virtually every country. Oppose Destructive Competition. Kreuger & Toll policy is against destructive competiticn.

The recent American tariff, virtua barring Swedish matches, brought a re- | port from New York last week that the Kreuger interests had secured control which was promptly denied at the Kreuger & Toll offices here.
