HARMONY WITH PACTS
BRITAIN SEEKS AMENDMENT TO LEAGUE COVENANT CONTROL OF WORLD DRUGS Reed. Noon. RUGBY, Monday. The League of Nations Council meeting, which opened at Geneva this morning, has upon its agenda several questions to which the British Government in particular attaches great importance. Among these are the British proposal that a committee should be appointed to amend the League Covenant so that it will be brought into harmony with the Paris Peace Pact, which bars war as an instrument of national policy. The Foreign Secretary, Mr. Arthur Henderson, who is the chief British delegate at the League, hopes that the committee will be able to produce a harmonious report, and one which the League Assembly will be able to accept when it meets in September. The British Government will also urge that the League Assembly’s decision regarding the manufacture of drugs shall become effective as speedily as possible, and the Government is anxious that measures leading to a plan for the limitation and rationing of the world’s manufacture shall be pressed forward. Mr. Henderson will return to London at the middle of next week and Mr. Hugh Dalton, Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, will take his place as the head of the British delegation.
