LEAGUE HOPES TO END WORLD PERIL OF WAR Final Touches on Security Planned for Coming Assembly Session. By United Press GENEVA, Aug. 20.—The ninth assembly of the League of Nations, which will follow closely the proposed signing at Paris of the Kef \ logg war-abolition treaty, expects to put the final touch on the problem of world security. League members frankly admit that the Kellogg treaty will constitute the greatest step yet taken, with the possible exception of Locarno,, toward solving the problem of security that to date has been the greatest obstacle to any progress toward disarmament. In the event, however, various nations still feel their security is not guaranteed sufficiently to permit of a limitation or reduction of armaments, the September assembly of the league will be prepared to put into effect immediately a program that should overcome all final objections to a disarmament conference. Virtually all ministers who will participate in the signing of the Kellogg pact at Paris will come immediately afterward to the league assembly. They thus will be In position to push to completion the basis of security already established by the Kellogg pact. 1 To this end. the assembly will have at its disposition the complete program as prepared during the last year by its security commission under the direction of Foreign Minister Benes of Czecho-Slovakia. This consists of a dozen model bilateral and multilateral treaties covering the Pacific settlement of all disputes, arbitration, conciliation, non-agression and mutual' assistance.
