Advertisement m i No Changes Will Be Made at This Time by League Resolution Rejecting Consid eration of Amendments to Covenant Passed With One Dissenting Vote. Geneva. Dec. 2. A resolution re jecting the consideration of amend ments to the league covenant at this session and providing for a commit tee to study changes before )hc meeting of the next assembly was pnssed bv the assily of the league at today's session with but one dis senting vote. In reporting the decision of the league of nations assembly commit tee on amendments to the league covenant not to recommend changes at this session, A. J. Balfour of Great Britain forecast the possible need of important changes in the future. The covenant was not re garded as perfect or immutable he said, and the eventuality must' be considered of the next assembly be ing called upon to consider amend ments of far greater importance than those now pressed. Amendments Needed. The covenant, Mr. Balfour pointed out, was framed w.th remarkabl rapidity and doubtless amendments would be necessary, but the com mittee found the moment inoppor tune. Because thi committee re jected' the amendments proposed by the Scandinavian t countries it was not to be considered that it dis agreed with them. If you amend the covenant, you amend the treaty of Versailles which gave .seal to the peace of the world," he said. Experience Insufficient. Another motive of the committee, Mr. Balfour explainnd, was the con viction that one year's experience in the working of a covenant was in sufficient to show just what amend ments should be made and the com mittee deemed it advisable to wait. He said a commission which the committee recommended to study proposed amendments could report to the council of the league, which in turn would report to the next meeting of the assembly at Geneva. The date of this he mentioned as September 1, next. By referring the changes now pro posed to a commission for sturdy, Mr. Balfour thought the assembly could establish a precedent 'of great value to the next .assembly, which might be asked to make more im portant changes. Delegates Hagerup of Norway and Dr. Wurtemburg of Sweden signified acceptance of the decision of the committee regarding the propositions.
