sion at League Meet

found impression among the dele
gates to the league of nations as
sembly.

tunity of studying it even if they
do not immediately accept all the
provisions as they stand, have no
hesitancy in characterizing the

tined perhaps to change world his

Professor James T. Shotwell, Gen

ter Miller, which, dismissing the
experts’ coenpiicated definitions
that led nowhere goz down to the
point and described an aggressor
state as one which declined the
jurisdiction of an arbitral tribune.
