LEAGUE OF NATIONS
ASSEMBLIES MONDAY
First Meeting at Geneva OF the
Popular Representative Branch
of the Body.

The assembly of the League of Nations
which will hold its first meeting At Geneva
On Monday next, November Is. Us the
popular or representative branch of the
double body designed to guide the affairs
az that organization rs created under the
treaty of Versailles.
While the representative character
of the gathering viii be impaired by the
absence az the United States, Germany,
Austria and Russia, yet with these ex-
ccptions Il will come near to representing
ihc greater part of the civilized world
The session has additional interest as
marking the complete organization OF
the League as provided by the Versailles
Peace 7. eatv.
Fortv-two nations, ranging IN import
ance from the British Empire to the Re-
public OF Haiti, are expected TO send dele
gates OF the Is states mentioned In the
Covenant. only three will be unrepresented
the United States. Honduras and Ecuador.
Fifteen more nations have applied for
admission, and the question OF granting
them access to the session as new members
will be one of the first items of business
10 be considered. Among these applicants
are Austria and Bulgaria of the former
enemy states and a number OF small
nations just emerged into statehood.
The question of admitting Germany 20
membership will also come under discus
sion, ~ it is likely 10 be raised by several
of the former European neutrals, and IT
seems likely that the admission OF Mexico
nsy also come before the session. All the
states seeking membership will be re-
auired 20 submit 10 such regulation of their
military naval and aerial ornaments as
the League may deem necessary, and
the Leagues Permanent Advisory Com
mission on Military, Naval and Air Ques-
tion. has been at work since August col
leeting the data which will be needed by
the Assembly for proper action on this
matter.
The acting president of the Assembly,
NJ. Hymans OF Belgium, will open the
first meeting, ~ the Assembly has not
vet had chance TO elect a president of
lts own. This election will be the very
first order of business, and will be followed
by the election of four vice-presidents
and the appointment of committee on
credentials,
Enough names of delegates are known
to show that the absence of monarchy
will not detract from the Importance of
the gathering, although it may reduce its
picturesque quality somewhat. Among
he more noted figures may be mentioned
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-11-12

DIR. Edounrd Benes, Foreign Minister OF
Cseoho-Slovakia and creator Of the Little
Entente;" NJ. Paderewski frat Prime
Minister OF the new Poland, Hjalmar
Branting, Prime Minister of Sweden until
a few weeks ago President Motta OF
Switzerland. ard his predecessor, ex-
President Ador, who recently acted ~
chairman at the International Financial
Conference at Brussels Many Of the
non-Europeaa States will he represented
by diplomats. but it will not toe the rule
even in their case. Thus Argentine will
send its Foreign Minister, Senior Pueyr-
redon, as one of its delegates, while Chile
will be represented by Don Antonio
Huneeus, former Foreign Minister, and
Don Manuel Rivas Vicuna, deputy and
former Minister of Finance. Each mem
ber nation is entitled to three officially
accredited delegates, but they may send
substitutes and experts "a well. Sweden
has availed itself of this privilege and one
of its three substitute delegates is n
woman. Mrs. Anna Bupge-Wicksell,
widely known as an expert on inter
national law.
Much Of the early work of the session
will he devoted to organization, the APP
pointment of committees being one OF the
most troublesome items. The likelihood
is that some II or Is committees will be
formed and that the various items on the
agenda will be divided into related groups
and distributed among those committees.
Among the duties of the Assembly will
be the final and formal establishment of
number of permanent subordinate orgaui-
zations like the Court of international
Justice, the Health Organization, the
Commission on Communications and
Transit, and the special tribunal that is
to deal with sll disputes connected with
international communications.
Incidentally certain questions will he
considered concerning the relationship be
tween the Council and the Assembly as
well as between those bodies and the
various technical organizations created by
them
Other important subjects to come he
fore the Assembly will be action on the
recommendations of the recent Inter
national Financial Conference AT Bus
sels; formulation of policy and methods
for the employment of the Leagues
weapon, the economic boycott; and
preparations for concerted action look
ing toward the suppression of all traffic
in women and children. Other questions
of equal Importance may be broaC ned. as
the Assembly is absolute master of lis
own procedure and can vote leave IL ad-
vance an entirely new proposition at Is
hours notice.
Subjects to come before the Assembly
at the instance of iniivual member
nations are several proposed amend
ments TO the covenant. some Of which
aim at improving the position Of the
smaller nations within the League, while
one submitted by Holland deals with the
covenant provision for suppression Of the
opium traffic in the Far East.
II is, of course. impossible to foretell
how long the session viii last, but in
formation received from reliable sources
indicate three or four weeks.
