SEEK TO HALVE HER CONTRIBUTION

Geneva, To-day. China's demand that her contri: bution to the League of Nations be halved, made yesterday by Mr. Quo Tai-chi, Chinese Ambassador to London and concurrently chief Chinese representative at Geneva, was backed by a threat to veto. the Budget if satisfaction is not obtained during the Fourth Com- mittee Meeting.

Such a threat might hold up 'all the League's work, as unanimity is required to pass the Budget.

There is, however, umch sym-{ pathy with the Chinese attitude. Great Britain proposed a revi sion of assessments whereby all the four permanent members of the League Council pay 105 Junits, which Great Britain now pays. This make the contribu

tions of France Italy and Bus

sia the same as Great Britain and will enable a 5 per cent. re- duction for other countries.

The Italian delegate, however, declared the impossibility of Italy increasing her contribution. Router.
