ANTI-WAR TREATY
Leading P o w e rs U nite iu Kel­
logg P act to Insure
W o rld P eace.
Washington, D. C.—Only receipt of
official communications of acceptan. i
remained to delay an immediate de­
cision as to when and where Secre­
tary Kellogg’s multi-lateral treaty for
renouncement of war shall be signed
by the representatives of the 15 gov­
ernments who will compose the char­
ter membership of this new peace
pact
The draft proposal which was sent
by Secretary Kellogg to the chief
European and Asiatic powers, would
bind the signatory countries to re­
nunciation of war “as an instrument
of national policy” and would hold
them to a pacific settlement of all
future differences between them.
The secretary is known to be par­
ticularly gratified that none of the
powers has found It necessary to pro­
pose amendment to the text of the
treaty itself in any way, or the at­
taching to the pact of any supple­
mentary interpretative document. He
has been desirous from the first that
the new peace treaty should be as
simple and direct in language as It
was possible to make it and that it
should not be encumbered nor any
doubt be cast upon its major purposes
by supplementary protocols or explan­
atory notes.
The treaty will be thrown open to
adherence by all countries of tha
•world after it has been signed by the
original group of powers.
PRESIDENT CALLES
MAY CONTINUE RULE
Mexico ICty.—The problem of Mexi­
co’s immediate political future will
rest In the hands of a congress made
up mainly of supporters of the late
President-elect Alvaro Obregon, which,
by a writ, will meet July 30.
Indications were more insistent than
ever that supports of the late presi­
dent-elect would attempt to continue
President Callee as the head of the
state If it can be done with any sha­
dow of legal sanction. Their plan Is
said to be to propose General Calles
for the presidency pro tern, not as
president, thus eliminating violation
of the constitution, which forbids tho
chief executive from succeeding him­
self.
The religious question, which has
been brought once more sharply into
relief by the alleged confession of
Obregon’s' slayer, Jose de Leon Toral,
that he was actuated by religious fer­
vor in committing the crime.
Police found in Toral’s notebook the
hastily dra»’n and crude sketch of
General Obregon which the slayer
used to mask the pistol with which he
committed the crime.
