, trio, In it's final aspect, it is the out
come Of countless diplomatic discus
sions, frank exchanges Of diverse
opinions and friendly compromises.
In these intellectual sparring match
es, in which history, tradition, polit-
ical economy, sociology and ethnology
in turn had part, there was nothing
suggestive of racial differences
among the Commissioners, every
problem being adjusted on it's in
trinsic merits. Throughout the long
and intensely interesting session,
which really began when the cruiser
