V NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS X Japan Wins Victory in the League of Nations— Baseball Scandal. By LDWARD W. PICKARD J APAN has, for the time being, put one over on the member nations of tiie League, of Nations, and all the world Is waiting, rather anxiously, to see what the result will be. It all turns on the matter of regulation of Immigration, wldch the Japanese will not admit Is a purely Internal ques tion that each nation is entitled to determine without outside interfer ence. They refused to accept the league’s proposed treaty of arbitra tion, security and 'disarmament until it had been amended to accord with their view on that point, and after a strenuous debate the committee In charge yielded to them and framed a Noenlled compromise widely satisfied them. The “protocol for pacific set tlement of International disputes,” ns It is officially known, was then sub mitted to the league assembly and ac cepted. In the opinion of most Amer- b nns and i f Australia, Canada and ofher Itritlsh dominions, the league 1ms overreached itself by attempting to become not only an international arbitrator but an International law maker. and the result Is more likely to be war than peace. Itrtelly stated, the nrnendm<»nts In .sisted upon and obtained by Count Adacld anil his Japanese colleagues oblige the league to arbitrate’the im migration question or any other ques tion of internal policy even aftei the world court has refused to have any thing to d with it. This, ns one cor respondent puts it, means that “Japan is • ntitbsl to drag the Cnlted States into a long, dangerous dispute on the nice question before the world’s na tions, even though the highest court of Justice in existence has declared Hie question a’fussue is America’s own business. No time limit is set for this operation, and If at any time dur ing this process the United States kicks over the trmVs and decides to bundle its own problems In Its own way the league is obliged to punish It by the military power of . r >4 nations.’’ ! If the'United States should refuse to obey the league’s* orders, Japan could declare war on us and could ■ count on the support of as many of the signatory nations as would honor their signatures to the document.

T'omedays ago Prime Minister Mac Donald announced that if the house of commons failed- to fratify tlfc treaties negotiated with soviet llus- sia lie -would appeal to tiie country tiirough a general election. He said that under the pacts OWaU TTrital cured many valuable concessions and would only guarantee, not make, a loan to Russia. Wednesday night the Liberal parliamentary party, on which tiie Lnborltes rely for their control of the house, met and gave notice to the government to abandon tiie Rus sian treaties or get out of office. When tiie autumn session of parlia ment opens on October 2S the Liberals will offer a motion rejecting the treaties on the ground that they threaten “to divert resources that are urgently needed for national and im perial development,” and that they “contemplate that the British tax payer should be made liable for fur ther loans to tiie Russian state, raised by means of a-guarantee by Hie British government, as a condi tion upon which any part of the pri vote claims of certain -British cred itors should be recognized or met by tiie sfirlet republic." Tiie motion of repudiation •will be supported by the Unionists.

Sand refused tiie $A00 offered him and promptly informed ids manager. O’Connell, da I led before Commissioner Landis, President Heydler of tiie National league and John McOrnw, manager of the (Rants, confessed and vainly tried to Implicate three of tils fellow play ers. O’Connell was bought from the Pacific const by the (Rants in 1022 at a cost of $7.\000 and had been much lionized in California. He says Conch Dolan suggested the bribery scheme to him, but where the $.'i(X) came from is not yet revealed. Dolan has been in professional baseball for 20 years.
