ouently wa. corrected TO two minutes and

WHEN THE LEAGUE DEBATES.

Enemies of the League OF Nations

over the fact that the recent session OF
the assembly In Geneva was enlivened
by discussions which were not seldom
extremely bitter and which in some
cases remain undecided.
When such friendly or unfriendly
critics will show ue a real Parliament
anywhere on earth that does not have
such debates and dissensions we may
begin 10 take more stock In their pre-
dIctions OF disaster. After the record
OF the Sfxty-si1th Congress Of the
United States. five weeks for an inter
national body TO discuss world affairs
does not seem overlong As for dis
sonsion between Assembly and Council
on the division of powers. perhaps no
complaints OF the usurping Senate or
House were ever heard toward the
eastern end Of Pennsylvania Avenue In
OF an unwieldly and unbusinesslike
Washington.
The leading statesmen of Europe
would not have spent five weeks away
from home 10 quarrel about things Of
no consequence in a tribunal without
prospect of survival or hope of useful
ness. The very fact that they did stay
and fight out their wordy battles TO the
end proves that II was worth their
while TO do so. The only conspicuous
| nation where public action is now or
! dered without debate is Russia. In
