ECONOMIC BLOCKADE WINS Proposal to Drop Article X From Covenant Anticipated Before League Assembly Adjourns. , CEXEV, Iec. 3. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The Catalans have asked the league of nations to free them from Spanish rule. The Montenegrins repeatedly are appealing- to the council and assem bly for the independence of their country and for relief from alleged cruelties of Serbian troops of occu pa tion. , In the league mail there are de mands for a revision of the treaty jot Sevres. These and minor complications are preventing- the council of the-assem-bly from pushing ahead -with, its big programme. The financial committee of 12 ap pointed to continue the work of the Brussels financial conference has been diligently working out a plan for an international credits institu tion. This committee took the roush sketch of the plan prepared by the Brussels conference as a starting point. After 20-odd sittings here it has virtually completed the draft of the plan, which will be submitted to the council soon. . The- general committee of the league of nations assembly took up today plans for facilitating the work of the assembly with a view to its completion by December 10 or 11. A definite plan for use of the eco nomic blockade against members of the league breaking the covenant unanimously was adopted by the sub commission on blockade. The mem bers of the commission expressed the belief that the plan would do much to prevent serious interna tional dispute from, developing into actual wars. The members declared themselves confident that the scheme would be ratified by the assembly of the league. Article X Mar Be K.llmina t presentation and adoption of a res olution eliminating article X from the covenant of the league of nations before the end of the present assembly would occasion no surprise here, it was declared in some quarters when the assembly began its meeting this morning. Assertions were mad that yester day's decision of the committee on the admission of new states which held, in effect, that the article does not guarantee the territorial integrity of any member of the. league, repre sented the view of a majority of the delegates at the present meeting. This interpretation "and the post ponement of the consideration of cer tain changes in the covenant were the rpincipa.1 topics of convereation here today. Other Antninnta to Come. These changes, which were proposed by Scandinavian countries, was said in nowise to prevent consideration at this session of any other amendments. X. W. Rowell. a Canadia delegate. brought this out clearly by question ing A. J. Balfour of Great Britain. The committee, to which was re ferred the questionof how to choose the four elective members of the coun cil of the league, had not reported. The question is whether these mem bers shall be elected for four years or for two, and it is still being de bated whether their terms of office ehculd be:n from the first entry of the council into operation or from the present meeting of the assembly. If the latter idea prevails the four rep resentatives must be elected here. Greece Mar roe Her Cut. The chance of Brazil returning to ner place on the council is considered excellent but Greece, it is thought. will lose her place. The league of nations committee on the admission .of new states today recommended unanimously the ad mission of Costa Rica into the league als a soverneigi. state. The United States and 12 other countries have recognized the de jure government of Costa Xiica, it was pointed out. jjast nignt me delegates were guests at a dinner given by tn South Americans and tonight the French delegation has arranged an elaborate reception. Swiss social or ganizations and authorities have been so lavish in their entertainments that some of the delegates are beginning to wonder whether the delegations will be able to hold out until the end Of the sessions. opinion in all countries attaches the high est importance. It Is unnecessary to point out that the reduction of armament ia essential for the well being of the world, and unless some measures of relief can be found by inter national co-operation for the excessive taxation due to armaments the general economic situation must become increas ingly worse. . . The council In extending this lnvitatloa cannot but hope that the government of the United States, particularly in view of the attitude of America toward the ques tion of the competition in armament will not refuse to associate itself with the governments of the members of the leat;ue in beginning the preliminary work neces sary lor ultimate success and to lend to the present effort an Vnsistanc which can In no way encroach upon its own perfect liberty of action. ARGENTINA MAY QUIT LEAGUE Republic Will Withdraw Unless All Countries Are Admitted. BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 3. (By the Associated Press.) Rejection by the assembly of the league of nations of Argentina proposals in favor of the admission of all countries to the league may result In the withdrawal of this country from the league, it was learned here last night. It was said that a cablegram was expected from Honorio Pueyrredon. Argentina foreign minister and chief of the Argentina delegation at Ge neva, notifying the government of his decision in the matter. Foreign Minister Pueyrredon Is un derstood to have received .instructions' from his government before leaving for Europe to withdraw from the league If it appeared the assembly would, refuse admission to all sov ereign states, and if Argentina's pro posal for the constitution of the council on a basis of equality of rep resentation of all nations . -was not adopted. The Lowest Prices Guaranteed With Every Change of Market LIQUOR CACHE IS SAFE V - JUDGE ORDERS SHERIFF OFF OWNER'S PREMISES. Intoxicants Worth. 915,000 Im mune From Seizure, According to Ruling of Court. SEATTLE, Wash., Dee. 3. (Spe cial.) Wines, liquors and cordials valued at $15,000, now in the residence of Patrick E. Sullivan, 3002 Harvard avenue, may'not be removed, and Sheriff Stringer must withdraw the deputies guarding the liquor since the raid made on the residence last Fri day night. Superior Judge Calvin S. Hall ruled today. The matter came up on the regu lar calendar before Judge Clay Allen. Judge Allen, after listening to. open-. Ing arguments, returned the Sullivan case and another liquor case to de partment No. 1. saying: "Let them be assigned to some other judge who has the time and the patience to lie ten to them." Jack Sullivan, attorney for the plaintiff, contended before Judge Hall that the liquor had been in court about four years ago on a similar action, and after an appeal to the supreme court had been returned to his client intact, on the grounds that he had purchased It prior to the state prohibition law of 1915, and that he was holding it for his own personal use and not for sale. The court granted the plaintiff a permanent injunction, restraining Sheriff Stringer from seizing the li quor on that particular search war rant. The sheriff instituted the raid Friday night, but could not get trucks to remove the liquors. Sullivan got a temporary injunction. The second liquor case returned to department 1 by Judge Allen was an action by Frank E. Bock against Police Judge Gordon, to restrain him from trying Bock under the city pro hibition ordinance. Judge Hall or dered it heard on its merits Decem ber 20. PUBLIC CORNERS METAL TOKEN BOUGHT IX ' AXTICIPA- TION OF FARE RISE. ARMAMEXT DELEGATE IXVITED United States Asked to Participate in Important Consideration. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. The invita tion of the league of nations that the United States name a delegate to act in a consultative capacity with the league com.nission on armaments, was received today at the state de partment. Officials there said the government had not yet come to a decision on the question of representation on the commission. The text of the Invitation from the league follows: The council of the league of nations actlns on an unanimous recommendation of the permanent military, naval and air commission of the league, passed at it? meeting In Geneva, on November 25. In vites the government of the United States to name representatives to sit on the com mission In a consultative capacity . during the study by the commission of the ques tion of the reduction of armaments, a study which the council has requested the commission to undertake forthwith. The permanent advisory commissiorrwas constituted by the council of the league at its meeting in Rome last ilay and held its first session at San Sebastian in August. The commission Is at present com posed of the military, naval and aerial ofiicers of states represented in the coun cil of the league. Its decisions are purely advisory and not in any sense binding, but they represent the common technical judg ment of the experts of many countries. It would, of course, be perfecting under stood that the presence of the representa tives of the United States would in no way commit the American government to what ever opinion may be finally put forward in the report of the commission. Nor indeed can that report itself be more than a basis for the consideration by the members of the league of the measures of reductions in armaments, wnicn united action may enable them to achieve. I evert beieee. Just as In the case of the financial conference at Hrussels, the pres ence of an American representative whote function was only that of giving and re ceiving Information was an important fac tor in the success of the work of the con ference, so that it cannot be doubted th. the general consideration of the subject of the reduction of armaments will be greatly facilitated if the government of the United States can see its way to be represented In a similar manner at the meeting of the permanent advisory com mission. Xhe problem 1- one to which public Seattle Railway Patrons) Forced to Pay Cash When Discs Are Not to Be Purchased. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 3. (Spe cial.) Seattle's street railway pat rons, who in the last few days during talk of higher carfares put over a "corner" in metal car tokens, today caused the municipal lines to reap a rich harvest in cash fares. Just how much the day's receipts would be could not be told by D. W. Henderson, superintendent, but he confessed to having been swamped with protests from angry citizens who were unable to buy tokens on the cars. The public's "corner" it developed. came about because of two million tokens purchased by the city for re sale to patrons, only half had been issued. To avoid today's rumpus on the cars Mr. Henderson said the mil lion tokens in reserve were being is sued in whatever quantities con ductors and places handling them could take care of. He also issued a statement tending to put a stop to excessive buying of car tokens. The tokens sell at four for a quar ter. Cash fare is 10 cents. Nearly 80 per cent of the patrons today paid cash tare. Henderson stated that if the raise in carfares is not made effective until 30 days, an entire new supply of metal tokens will have to be purchased, at a cost exceeding xioo.ooo. $100,000 IS FOR LIQUOR (Continued From First Page.)
