BURDEN OF FAULT

Geneva, June 26.

The question of the reform of the League of Nations Covenant was raised by the Chilean representative at a .nrivate meeting of the Council here to-day.

He declared there was a real danger that their general responsibilities might involve them in a conflict in which they had no interest, direct or indirect. It must be possible, he said, for one part of humanity to remain outside of dispute even in the case of catas- trophe.

M. Maxim Litvinoff, the Russian Commissar for Foreign Affairs, expressed the opinion that the League Covenant had not failed, but that the arins, provided by the Covenant had not been utilised.

M. Nicholas Titulescu, Roumanian Foreign Minister, in a fighting speech, said to criticise the Covenant instead of the men who had not applied, it was a profound injustice. The Little Entente, he said, would accept proposals giving more force to the Covenant but would never agree to touch the principle of equality of nations.

M. Yves Delbus, the French Foreign | Minister, asserted that the French Government, far from rendering the Covenant responsilie for the fatture, held it was in no way to blame,
