H GENEVA, May 2.— Drawing data from authorities in all parts of the globe, the League of Naticns is seeking o soive the riddle of prevailing world- wide economic ills. American co-operation is coming chiefly through A. W. Shaw and Ed- ward Eyre Hunt, both of Chicago, presi- dent and secretary of President Hoover's Economic Survey Commission. This business study is being made by the e's economic organization, which is under instruction to examine “the ecurse and phases of the present jon and the circumstances which up to it.” Results will be reported i to the League Assembly in September. | Five Attacks Made. !
