before the Council He subsequently addressed TO
the Council an unofficial letter, which under the
standing rules of the body referred to the Bust

that such q lettcr had been addressed by the An

the necessary arrangements for the time which to

of plain, practical common sense, that when An

that she did and then further requested the Council
