FIRST ASSEMBLY Of
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
FORMER BELGIAN FOREIGN MIN.
IsTER CHOSEN PERMANENT
PRESIDENT OF LEAGUE.
Initial Gathering at Geneva Opens
With transformations Ceremonies;
United States Not Represented
Officially, But Has Observers

Geneva.-Opening of the first as
sembly of the league of nations was
announced at IL o'clock Monday morn
ing November 10, by the ringing of all
the church bells in Geneva. Just ba
fore that hour a procession, made up
of Swiss officials, marched from the
city hall to the Hall of the Reforma-
tion, where the delegates were as
sembling for the session. The parad-
ers marched through the streets be-
decked with the flags of virtually all
the nations of the world, with the ex-
ception of Germany, Austria and Tur.
key. Never before in the history of
the world, it is believed, had the flags
of so many nations flown together.
Only few American flags were noted
among the colors displayed.
Men who have long been resident in
the arena Of world politics were pres
ent when Paul Hymans, temporary
president and former Belgian foreign
minister, appeared on the platform of
the Hall of Reformation and called the
meeting to order.
Most of the South and Central Amer
lean republics have full delegations
here for the session.
U. S. Not Represented.
The United States was not repre-
scented officially at the meeting, but
throughout the session there will be
present American observers" who
will keep Washington Tally informed
of developments.
At meeting of the council of the
league, arrangements were made for
the United States to have a represen-
tative on the financial commission, as
well as the commissions on economics
and mandates, should she so desire.
Honduras and Ecuador are the only
other American nations which did not
send delegates to the meeting of the
assembly.
Paul Hymans of Belgium was elect
ed permanent president of the league
of nations at the Op,ning session of
the leagues assembly. He received
thirtyfive votes to four votes for
President Motta of Switzerland, and
