Geneva. Aug. 31. —Not since the peace conference of Varsailhw have the people of the world shown such an in terest in an international gathering as in the fifth assembly of the league of riations which will open here tomorrow to take supreme world problems and the question how best to avert future 'Wars. I The vast interest is made evident by messages which arriving delegates and simple citizens are bringing from scores of lands, including the United States. These messages are to the effect that the people every where want some thing real active. There seg{ns to be a feeling prevalent here that tv suitnble atmosphere for fashioning some binding and effective project, of accord amoffg the nations has been created. Some of the delegates are of the opinion that the league of nations idea of constructive friendly co-operation between governments on in ternational questions has been the chief force ip erenjing tfci they emphasise the ddew that the new* era of collaboration 'which it is hoped will follow the successful London agree ment will act as a powerful impulse to other and wider pacts calculated to as sure peace. Mjany delegates remarked rjm day oh what is known as the “Ge<<4Ri atmos phere. A modest worker in the league secretariat described it as an atmos phere where 'Chauvinism, qxeepjive nationalism and loud clamors for state rights are in bad form and constitute a distinctly false note. It is believed here that, tiie min isters of the state from, virtually every country in Europe will seek particular ly to provide for France and Belgium some secuslty’ and guarantee that they will not again be invaded, and that they will try to devise some means to induce by a general agreement the governments of all countries to reduce their arma ments, naval, land and aerial, and thus permit vast treasure to be deVoted to projects of peaceful reconstruction.
