v ew York, Feb. 4—Receipt of a o message' from Lord Lonsdale, presdent of the British board of box.ng control, in which he declared that the Bnglish board favors Amcrican views advocating propor- tionate voting power in the I.merrm-l tional Boxing Union, was announced here tonight by Major Anthony J Drexel Biddle, chajrman. of the Ar- Navy and Civilian Board of Box- ing Control. The American board} recently cabled *its refusal to send{ representatives to the meeting of the international union in Paris ,Febru- ary 5, because seach country repre- sented was’to have equal voting pow- ef, regardless of its boxing promi- nence. The French boarg of boxing..con- trol has suggested, Lord Lonsdale's message stated, that France, England and the United States be given ten votes each with one or two each for remaining members of the union ac- cording to their relative importance. In commenting on the proposal, Major Biddle declared that “while it is a concession to the protest of this board as contained in our cable and is satisfactory in so far as England d the United States are concerned, other nations are to be awarded a voting power proportionate to their importance, then France is not enti- d to the number of votes given to England or America.” \ He added that an Anglo-American alliance was favored by the British board in the event of the French as- sociation “pers’sting in acting in a dictatorial spirit entirely unwarranted he relative importance of boxing France as compared with , other tries.” .
