ciated Press.)-South America and
South Africa held the floor OF the as
aembly Of the League OF Nations to-

avoid danger of the organization Of a
rival league. IS.
He said that formula must be
found to permit the United States to
come in and demanded that the
League be made more democratic by
eIecting all members of the council in
the assembly. instead of allowing the
big powers to name majority OF
them. rs at present.
h This sounded like a formal notice to
the big powers that they will encoun-
Ter opposition from the smaller ma :
tons if they insist npon maintaining
their uominatien eouncil.
Lord Robert Cecil, speaking in be-
half. of General SHUTS, as a member
of the South African delegation. re-
viewed the entire report of the council
to the assembly and pointed out the
results obtained He declared some
general principles, among which was
compiete publicity not only for the
affairs of the League, but for world
affairs generally, in order TO bring
public opinion upon abuses or infrac-
ton of the principles which are the
basis of il.
Lord Robert referred to this in con-
nection with the Polish Lithuanian
decisions and recommended a resolu :
ton calling upon the League council
TO publish the report in it's possession
bearing upon this question.
n He commanded the greatest atten-
ton from the assembly. particularly
when abiding to Senator Harding's
statement that the League was dead.
he said that the report Of the Council
showed it was very much alive.
z. After sustained applause on Lord
Roberts peroration, many of the dele
gates turned toward the seats of the
French delegation as it had been said
that NJ. Viviani probably would fol-
low him but the former premier of
France was awaiting another oppor-
tunity. 1t is reported in French cir
cles that 81. Viviani win net take the
floor for a set speech until it is known
positively whether Mr.. Lloyd George

such to the present policemen of
Boston. In view of these facts This
committee recommends that our
charter be forthwith returned to the
