ARBITRATION PACT. RUGBY, February 25. In a memorandum issued regarding the propose! accession of the British Government to the “General Act.” it is recalled that the optional clause re- j luted only to justifiable disputes, and it was to cover the field of non-justi. liable disputes, so that all informational disputes of whatever character should lie capable of a specific solution, that tile League Assembly in 1928 pro. j duced the “General Act.”

A White Paper points out that the British Government can only -accede to the “General Act” on conditions corresponding closely with those made

regarding the optional clause. These exclude certain disputes such as those between members of the British Commonwealth, and those purely within the domestic jurisdiction of States. The White Paper recalls that the opinion of the Imperial Government was strongly in favour of the principles of the Act. FIERCE REVOLVER. BATTLE. SAVOURING OF CHICAGO. (Received 10.20 a.m.) CALCUTTA.
