assembly. For the first time the word
revision" was pronounced-in con-
neetiOn with article 18 of the cove
nant of the league, which provides
for the registration of treaties or in
ternaticnaI engagement. For the first
time, also, the viewpoint of labor as
regards the league was presented.
The views of labor were presented by
George Nicoll Barnes of. the British
delegation. who gained applause when
he declared that "a general peace. is i'm
possible until we have Industrial peace.
and industrial peace is impossible until
labor gets its, full share Of the product
of its own effort
Labor. Behind. EneMy States
Twice again the admission of former
enemy states into the league was ad-
vocated- Labor was quoted by Mr..
Barnes as in a large majority demand
ing it. There now have been represent
ed in the demands for the admission
OF the former enemy states South Africa,
Great Britain. Switzerland. Argentina
and Scandinavia. 1t still appears, how
ever. that, no one of the delegations is
ready to take the initiative in proposing
the election of Germany to membership.
Lord Robert Cecil of the British dele
cation has said that he will not do so,
and Honorio Puerreydon, head of the
Argentine delegation. who has spoken
strongly in favor of Germany coming
in. declares that he will not nominate
her Neither will the Dutch and Swed-
isll delegations. which are supposed to
be Germany's strongest supporters. pro-
pose her admission to the league, not
withstanding the fact that sentiment

1t is now generally considered that
the question lies entirely with a COM
mittee, as delegates who hesitate to
propose Gernany'S admission from the
tioor Of the assembly are quite free in
bringing up tho discussion in committee
Opinion is about equally divided be-
tween the probanhitys0 postponing ad-
mission Of all foEmer enemy states until
the next meeting of the assembly and
the admission Of all of them. with the
exception Of Turkey, during the present
session

A protest by Germany against the
manner of the distribution Of mandates
for her colonies created a marked i'm
pression, in the assembly. particularly
on account of the fact that it was ad-
dressed, to the assembly. instead of the
council of the league of nations. Ger
many consistently has maintained the
attitude that the council Of the league
does not possess sufficient authority to
deal with such questions. since ma

1t is not expected In league circles
that treaties such as the Franco-Bel-
gian military understanding will be in-
tegrally registered since their defensive
value largely depends, on secrecy.
In an Interview Baron Hayashi, one
Of the members of the Japanese dele
cation, said that. despite the ele-
mentary character of the league. 1t
was working in a wonderful manner.
He depl0red the absence OF the United
States from the gathering, and also
the fact that the time was not ripe
for the inclusion of enemy countries
in the league, for, he said, the league
must be a world Institution and not
