The Canadian protest against Euro

mittee The charge that European
craftsmanship was responsible for the
war brought forth a European defence
by Gabriel Hanotaux.
II say that Europe fought for the
world and for humanity" M. Hanetaux
declared. ''Do you. therefore. deem to
say that when we. have defended the
world and humanity, when we call upon
men to help up endeavor to solve these
problems. you are going to refuse the
call?"
Mr.. Millen OF Austrilia, in backing UP
the Canadian protest, said: you may

cannot compel single State either to
observe or TO contribute to their up
keep. have heard a good deal about
open diplomacy. May / say that this
not only means open diplomacy between
nation and nation but complete. open
diplomacy between member and member

Mr.. Millen declared that the creation
OF such vast organizations did not in
sure the cooperation of any one state,
as would be seen by reading Article
would merely mean the creating of ma
chinery and the placing on the payroll
of large number OF highly paid Off
Gals. He was not in q position, he con-
tinued, to commit his country to any
such thing.
The attack brought forward. as usual.
Lord Robert Cecil. representing tbs
Union OF South Africa, in the customary
role of conciliator to save the covenant
and the league. Admitting that there
was much in the point made regarding
Inconvenience to non-European nations
in connection with attendance OF these
meetings. Lord Robert said:
1T would, however, be disastrous If
we did not obtain for the resolution for
these great questions the assistance not
only of those who are living in Europe,
but those who live ell over the world.
Nothing would be more unfortunate than
the impression that the league was mere
ly league of Europeans. and not
league for the world"
1t was on Lord Roberts suggestion
that the committee withdrew its report,
under instructions to meet with Mr..
Rowell. Mr.. Millen and other DIRECTORS
with view to trying to reconcile the
two viewpoints.
The committee also deferred TO the
suggestion from Brazil that the council
appoint commissions to call conferences
on these three subjects, but to adjourn
the definite establishment of any OF
these proposed agencies.
The assembly committee on admission
of new states acted favorably on the
applications Of Finland and Luxem-
bourg. The admission of Albania and
the Baltic states was carried over for
future consideration.

DAINTYLIT7LE GIRL WHO N

was to wear the dress was just the
dainty type who would have looked

with embroidery and lace, and bedecked
with ribbons. The result was that she
