Opposes Voting Plans.

"All the British dominions are con-
sidered as separate nations. This
gives Britain six or seven votes,
whereas France has only one. How
can India possibly be considered as
q dominion when it is a notable type
of the neutrality-suspicious. colony? With
regard to America it is also difficult
to consider Cuba as an independent
nation. else Morocco should be given
a vote. How can one be otherwise
than shocked to see that the Presi-
dent of Liberia has a vote equaling
that of the French government? AS
two-thirds of the assembly are suf-
fcient to authorize the entry of a
new nation into the league, it is evil
dent that the fate of the league is
placed in the hands of microscopic
states"
