an opportune moment shall present
itself"
The Japanese delegation. he add
ed. also has decided to withdraw It's
protest against annual meetings of
the assembly although IL required
five months time for a delegation
from Japan TO make the long jour
ney and return. He recommended
that meetings be held once in two
years with special meetings in emer-
gency. but said he would not press
this recommendation.
The japanese delegate made these
declarations in speaking on the re-
port of the committee on rules,
which was read to the full assembly
at the opening of the session by
Delegate Ferreras of Italy.
Organism OF League
The committee based its report
on the principle that the assembly
Is the sovereign organism of the
league but intermittent and that the
executive council is the permanent
power with the secretariat as the
continuous medium for the execu-
ton of the decisions of both the
assembly and the council.
Some complex questions regarding
the relations between the assembly
and the council were reserved by
the committee for further consId-
Grafton. Delegate Ferreras pro-
posed amendment to the rules, max
ing 1t obligatory for the assembly to
meet in Geneva. This was adopted
with the modification that the reg.
ular sessions of the assembly must
be held at Geneva at regular inter-
walls. but that extraordinary sessions
might be held elsewhere, If the as
sembly, a majority of the council or
a majority of the league so decided

ure of the council to intervene for
prevention of the war between Po-
land and soviet Russia has been put
over to Fridays session.
The report of the committee on
to the covenant was ex-
pected To contain recommendation
that commission be appointed to
which all amendments proposed
should be referred for study and re-
ported upon to the next assembly,
which, 1t Is now considered, will Ger.
tainly be held during the summer or
early fall.
Action OF United States.
Such a committee would have suf-
ficient latitude to consider any prop
osition emanating from the United
States. Some of the delegates have
considered the advisability of CIV
ing the committee the express au-
thority to enter into negotiations
with Washington at a favorable
moment.
With the adoption of the rules.
the assembly adjourned until Thurs
day.

Trying Period for League
BY The Associated Press
GENEVA, Nov. 30:--Many dele |
gates to the meeting of the assem-
bly, of the League of Nations which |
today resumed session regard the |
coming week as the most critical |
period In the history of the organ
ization. Questions which have been |
settled by committees by ma jority |
vote after stubborn contests in some |
cases must be decided in the assem-
bly, by a unanimous vote. The only |
exception is in the case of the cleo
ton of new members and amend |
ments.
If the assembly proves capable of |
agreeing without a dissenting vote /,
on the difficult problems to be |
placed before it during the next few |
days it will in the estimation of |
some of the leading members have |
passed a most dangerous point.
Discuss Mandates
The council of the league was en-
gagged during it's entire session yes
terday with the question of man
dates, and could not proceed to the |
election of a successor to Sir Resi- !
nald Tower as high commissioner |
at Danzig.
1t seems probable that definite |
solution of the question relative to |
the economic blockade will not be |
reached at this session of the assem- |
bly,. A resolution passed by the sub |
committee on blockades yesterday |
proposed that an international COM /
mission on blockades be appointed !
by the council, and this body shall /
report to the assembly the measures /
1t would put into effect against an
aggressor nation.
Delegates Leon of Spain and /
Aguero of Cuba have agreed t. |
withdraw for the time being their !
proposition for inclusion of Spanish !
among the official languages of the |
assembly. They have indicated they /
would not press their suggestion for /
4 discussion of the subject at the
present session OF the assembly.
