view that he is delighted with the
amended covenant of the league Of ma

Viscount Grey considers the key to the
whole organization is the annual meet
ing Of the nine premiers or foreign sec
retaries represented on the council.
$50 long as that meeting is regularly
held and wisely inspired" he says, $50
long may we confidently hope the peace
of the world will be secure"
He believes that ornaments will di.
minish as the league becomes strong and
vital and produces sense of security
and that eventually "those who now fear
ii does not go far enough and those
thinking that it goes too far win both
be satisfied"
Earl Grey has the greatest confidence
in Sir Eric Drummond, the first secre-
tary general Of the league, and is espe-
cially pleased to know that Sir Eric's
election was originally suggested by the
American delegates.
