Settle Reparations, Is Demand of League By Associated Press. Geneva, Sept. 22.—Several dele gate!* In the league of nations coun cil, representing India, South Africa and Sweden, today insisted upon the gravity of world conditions and de manded that the governments obey the new order of things as represented by the league. I’rof. George Mur ray, representing South Africa, re marked th3t it was no longer neces sary to talk of the fact that France and Belgium must have ample repara tion, and France security for the fu ture. He did not wish to blame or attack anybody, for men of Jofty alms were directing the affairs of England and France, but he believed the league could say to both governments: “You have failed after four years to settle this hideous problem, while the world is filled with dread for the future." "I know," he went on, "that in his tory there has been no surer mode of sowing the seeds of war than through the occupation of the territory of any nation by a foreign power.” The speaker said that all hated German Imperialism and the ruin It had wrought, but if Germany went the way of Itussia, if a German famine was followed by a famine in England and other nations, and the great war proved but a prelude to another and ghastlier war, he hardly knew what could save the credit of the league of nations or the govern ments composing it, before Jhe bar of history and the Judgment of God. He closed his address by again ex horting the great powers to solve the problem swiftly or hand it over to the league.
