Dues Reduced

Reduced annual dues will be allowed to the Central American Republics -- Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, San Salvador -- in order to keep them members of the League of Nations.

It is stated that not one of these nations has paid its annual dues to the League since becoming a member. The Republics in question claim that their assessments are too high.

The International Labor Bureau of the League of Nations issued invitations for an experts' meeting to ex amine the question of employment of mutilated soldiers. It was said that out of 10,000,000 War-maimed 8,000,-000 are potential wage earners. The delegates invited are chiefs of Government Administrations dealing with problems connected with wounded ex-soldiers. France immediately refused the invitation " owing to the present international situation."
