sessions Italy was not represented

Ger, remaining vacant. The other del
egates presented full ranks and the
scene was stirring as the French
premier opened the session.
President Wilson was recognized at
the outset for detailed explanation
of the new covenant of the League
CT Nations. His speech was without
oratorical effect and confirmed the
explanation of the textual changes,
most of which have already been not
ed and named Belgium. Brazil. Greece
and Spain on the League Council and
also on the committee to prepare
plans for the first meeting Of the
League.
Baron Maxine, head of the Japa-
nese delegation, in a brief speech,
called renewed attention to the Japa-
nese amendment in racial equality.
He said that the race question was
a standing grievance, which might
tecome a dangerous issue at any
, time. The Japanese government and
people, Baron Maxine declared. felt
poignant regret that the amendment
had not been incorporated in the
covenant and announced that an eff
fort would be made to have the prin-
ciple of racial equality adopted as
part Of the document.
Paul Hymans, representing Belgium
expressed the regret of the Belgian peo'
pie at the selection of Geneva as the
seat of the League of Nations, while
approving the high aims Of the league
The Uruguayan delegate announced
the adhesion Of his country to the

Leon Bourgeois, for France, renewed
two amendments tending to give France
additional security. One provided fol
the creation of a committee to ascer'
tain and exchange military and nava
programs. information regarding arma.
ments and similar matters. The Other
provided for "a permanent organiza tior
for the purpose of considering and pro-
viding for naval and military measures
to enforce obligations arising from the
high contracting parties under the
covenant, making it Immediately oper-
alive in all cases Of emergency"
NJ. Bourgeois argued that such secur.
ity was essential to France because OF
extended frontiers of that country
which, as President Wilson had declared
in the French Senate. were the from
tiers OF the worlds liberty.
The amendments of Mr.. Bourgeois
| were not pressed. NJ. Clemenceau then
put the question of the adoption Of
Pres. wilson's motion, which prevailed
without a formal vote.
The covenant was declared adopted
and the session proceeded to the labor
report. reciting Line principles for in
clusion in the treaty, which were also
accepted.
After setting aside the report of wal
responsibilities for later consideration
the session adjourned.
