HEATED INTERLUDES AT GENEVA:
Geneva, September 20.
The First Conimliter, after a prolonged and animated discussion adopted the Chairman's report on the juridicial portion of the protocol. An unexpected outcome was the Japanese exception to Article six-not Ave-relating to the neilon of the Counell dealing with an aggressor. Mr. Adaichi is a serious tone read a declaration of the Japanese delegation, the substance of which follows: "The Ideal of the League is to settle pacifically all conflicts between nullons. I the draft Protocol, however, does not make good the gaps, in the Covenant in that connection, inasmuch as Article fifteen of the Coven- ant continues to permit a State to escape international investigation under pretext that the matter is within its exclusive competence, } even if the matter infringes the honour, prejudices and vital seve: of the interests of another State. According to Article Protocol, the League while sustaining from lending its pacific action to a State wronged, threatens to consider that State an aggressor should if adopt measures in defence of its legitimate interests. Thus the draft Protocol will lead to the protection of a State which rejected the supremacy of international justice and condemn a state The which simply asked for un, impartial application of justice. Japanese delegation, which already experienced great difficulties in It is accepting Article fifteen of the Covenant, greatly regrets unable to adhere to the illogical aggravation of the stipulation con lained in Article six of the Protocol.":

M. Fernandez (Brazil) contended the Japanese amendment did not favour the atlainment of the object the Committee had in view and therefore appealed for its withdrawal. The Chairman, M. Politia, favoured the amendment pointing out there had been exaggeration on both sides. The present wording of Article six wies foo rigid. M. Rolin (Belgium) declared the ameudnient was noi, destructivel Each State had the right to settle its own disputes,
There were several heated interludes in the curse of the dis- of the cussion. M. Scinioja (Italy) suggested the examination Protocol In a calnier atmosphere ly Committee of experts. M. Loucheur declared if the council did not do its duty, any provisions of the Protocol would be in vain. The proposed Japanese amend- ment would be referred to a sub-Committee. Thereupon, the Com- mittee rose, the delegates dispersing animatedly. The Proterol will now probably not come to the Assembly before Tuesday,
Paris, Sept. 29.
The newspapers emphasis the critical nature of the Japanese the Protocol is attitude at Geneva. The Echo de Paris declares reached. The Matin's special correspondent at Geneva refers to the "tragic character of yesterday's sitting, and the indescribable emotion evoked by Adatchi's declaration. and opines that the Japanese wilt remain adamant.-Reuter,
THE RUBBER INDUSTRY.
London, Sept. 29. Disrussing the rubber position, the Tines City editor points out ¡timi re-triellin, if drustir enough and continued long enough, anst improve the statistical position and lend to a rire in price, but the consequences vary with the method. 11 is not remonically sound fo eliminate the factor of efficiency by treating all planters alike. In the matter of production. Secondly, it is an unsound policy to rire a foreign rival business a opportunity to secirre a larger pro- partion of the trade than formerly beld. It seems in the circum- staaces, that when restriction finally ends, the British industry may ind that although they have larger reserves of bark than their neighbours the, Butch have a larger area of newly planted rubber, which will give them a bigger proportion of trade than in the pre- restriction era. Such a result would not have occurred if restric- tion had been brought about solely by the price factor. Restriction would then have affected equally the British and Putelt--Reuter.
