CAUSES SERIOUS DEADLOCK.

GENEVA, 30th September.
A serious deadlock has apparently been reached in the drafting of the Protocol. A small committee of jurists, upon which Britain, France, Italy, and Japan are represented, is discussing the question of a formula with a view to securing a solution of the difficulty.
It is understood that Baron Adachi persists in the viewpoint that the Dominion representatives oppose the Japanese amendment because they consider that Japan should not be excluded from being declared an aggressor if she attacks another State on a domestic matter, which is what the amendment means. The Dominion representatives express the opinion that domestic laws should be amenable to settlement -without recourse to aggression. It is pointed out that acceptance of the Japanese, amendment will close the door absolutely to the entry of the United States into the League.
