GENEVA, September 3.

In the course of his speech, M, Herriot praised the draft for the Treaty of Mutual Assistance, about which France was-most-optimistic

He expressed gratification at Mr. support of the proposed arbitration, declaring that the violation of frontiers no longer provided a satisfactory criterion of aggression, but he enlarged on the "necessity of backing up arbitration and justice by force,

WASHINGTON, September 5.

It is reported from Moscow that M. Rothstein, of the Russian Foreign Office has stated that Russia takes a serious view of affairs in China and is not going to gemain indifferent. MacDonald'We have full ground, to suspect an arrang

ment was reached between the Great Powers with regard to China, during Mc Hughes (U, S. Secretary » of State) stay in London. This action was contemplated long ago, but America hesitated to make up her mind until the Russo-Chinese agree ment was signed. We believe the United States decided to divide China, into zones of interest. It have abandoned their policy of the open door and seems England will receive the South: France the province of Yunnan and Jagan will have Manchuria, The participation of Japan hitherto has not been clear, but certain actions in Manchuria indicate that- Japan has been given permission to occupy İL”

"We must make what is mighty just, and what is just mighty, if we are to save peoples from repetition of their sufferings," he added.

He declared that France strongly favoured all measures calculated to control traffic in arms and prevent preparations for war, which, at present. were proceeding.

He supported the idea of adisarmament conference.

He said that the conditions, under which Germany and Russia could be admitted to the League, were clearly laid down in the articles of the Covenant:

BRITISH ENDORSEMENT.

Lord Parmoor, in a powerful speech which, was frequently applauded, endorsed many of the principles laid down by M. Herriot.. "He declared that the League Covenant was the remedy for the present situation in the world."

BELGIUM - IN LINE..

At the afternoon sitting, M. Theunis said that Belgium would follow France and Britain with regard to compulsory arbitration.

The best guarantee of peace was the prospect of a coalition of all civilized peoples against the aggressor.

Mr. Benes, of Czecho-Slovakin, advocated. arbitration.

The debate was adjourned until to-morrow. WELCOME TO M. HERRIOT.

*The public galleries of the Assembly Hall were again packed to-day. M.. Herriot was given an. ovation. He said that he hoped that one result of this Assembly would be to consecrate the principle of arbitration (Applause): He said that the aggres- sor was the party, who refused to abide by the arbitral award. This Assembly has a moral responsibility to the world. Arbitration, security | and disarmament were inseparable from each other, Arbitration was necessary if peace is to become a reality and the loyalty of small nations must be protected. (Loud applause). He emphasised the nard of upholding justice for all, and endorsed the remarks of "my excellent friend Mr. MacDonald”) yesterday.

ARBITRATION ESSENTIAL.

M. Herriot declared that without .arbitration security, disarmament, and international: solidarity' were impossible. 'France joyfully received any proposals for conciliation. France offered all she could offer. She wanted peace and hoped that the efforts of the League would lead thereto.

Mr. Rothstein added that Russia was going to protest against the Fowers' scheme. M. Rothstein denied the Russo-Chinese Treaty contained any secret flause... Secretary of State Hughes, when shown the foregoing, termed it"not only false bil ridiculous. Other American, officials pointed out, that any such agreement among the Powers would be contrary to the Nine Power Treaty.
