Explains Detail.
In speaking on the League issue
Mr.. Bennett brought forth many de-
tails explaining how the United
States holds the same number Of
votes in the League as any other
nation.
"One will hear on the various
street corners, barber shops and
other public places that England
has more votes than the United
he said.
"All matters brought before the
4 . -r.s1
and assembly. No nation can have
more than one vote in the council
This means that England, including
all it's possessions is entitled TO only
one vote.
Before any subject before the
league is settled it must have the
unanimo Gus vote of the council. Only
one vote is allowed any nation in
the assembly and before any sub
ject is decided a majority OF votes
Of the assembly must be received
The council is the executive. the
same as the president OF our ma
ton and the assembly the congress
Before any nation can enter the
league it must sign an agreement
that before going TO war with an
other nation the grievances mus
be placed before the league for ar
britration. The nation is allowed
three months 10 place its charges OF
complaints and the league has slS
months in which to reach de-
cision. In other words there is q
a total Of nine months in which the
grievances are arbritrated.
