PUSH PLANS TO DISARM FURTHER MacDonald Plunges Into Task to Get League to Call Conference GENEVA, Sept. 3. — Premier Ramsey MacDonald of England arrived today and immediately plunged into his task of having the League of Nations pave the way for international disarmament conferences.

R. H., the prince of Wales, rose late today after a crowded day and night. He did not leave the princely bed chamber of the Burden home until shortly before noon. Later Captain A. F. Lascelles, the prince's equerry, said Wales had no definite plans for the next two days and may rest up. As was the case the day before, the prince returned home between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning after spending the night dancing at the homes of Harry R. Winthrop in Woodbury, Long Island and Mrs. Vincent Astor, not far from here. "Had a great time," he admitted in the native American tongue while bidding his host and hostess good night—or good morning, as he laughingly corrected himself. The prince, it was stated, had made no engagements for today except the dinner in his honor at the Piping Rock Yacht club this evening. Members of the British and American polite teams also will be guests of honor at the dinner. Wales had a novel experience last night while dining at the Winthrop home. The electric light system failed because of the storm and progress of the dinner was halted until candles had been lighted and placed about the table. After dancing at the Winthrop home until 2 o'clock this morning, the royal visitor and his party sped over to the home of Mrs. Astor. There, in the spacious and brilliantly lighted ballroom, the prince again enjoyed himself until the sun's radiance dimmed the glare of the artificial lights. The prince played polo yesterday. He may do the same today, Captain Lascells said, on the field of the Piping Rock club or that of the Creek club.

MacDonald Plunges Into Task to Get League to Call Conference GENEVA, Sept. 3.—Premier Ramsey MacDonald of England arrived today and immediately plunged into his task of having the League of Nations pave the way for international disarmament conferences. Representatives of the Swiss government and the league met MacDonald when his train arrived and crowds in the streets cheered him. It was a curious circumstance, however, that the British statesman received no applause when he entered the assembly meeting, whereas Premier Heriot of France was given an ovation when he arrived. President-elect Motta of the assembly made a speech of welcome thanking the British and French premiers for their interest in the league's work and for coming to Geneva. Premier MacDonald and Premier Heriot conferred after the morning session. They are working in harmony to have the league pledge all nations to a security agreement for peace and disarmament. Gilbert Murray of England, addressing the assembly, declared that world peace would not be assured until the league has made arrangements for the protection of minorities. He suggested that minority populations be permitted to present grievances to the council, special attention being given to minority populations under Turkish nomination. Murray's proposal was supported by M. Politis of Greece. Dr. Fridtjof Nansen of Norway called the assembly's attention to a recent statement of Secretary of State Hughes supporting the world court. "I ask you," said Nansen, "to note the significance of the words of the American secretary of state, Mr. Hughes, who declares that the world court, perfectly organized, works so well it deserves the support of all nations." "We owe arbitration to an American idea." It dates from the time of America's arbitration treaty with Great Britain. It is an idea always near the heart of the people. I think, therefore, that Secretary Hughes' statement is most important."
