THE LEAGUE
IN A MORASS. • THE LEAGUE AND ARMAMENTS. COMMISSION MAKES NO ADVANCE. (A. and N.Z. Cable Association.) (Seed. November 28, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, November 27. At Geneva the Commission dealing with contributions for the. maintenance of tho League of Nations is in a morass in regard to formulating a basis for payments. It has examined a number of propositions, including one suggesting a basis for expenditure by tho various nations on armaments. This idea did not commend itself to the League. The clause offering the most hope was one based on the national revcmic and the internal and external trade, and also population, with a proviso that tho latter should not exceed that of the greatest European counI try. In order to safeguard India and China some modification along this line may furnish a reasonable and equitable standard. The main difficulty lies in obtaining accurate statistics, owing to want of uniformity in their preparation rendering any comparison of ■ economic conditions more or less unsound.
