FIRST MEETING OF
ASSEMBLY CLOSED

| Geneva.-The first meeting of til
assembly of the league of nation
closed Saturday in a burst of elC
quence.
In farewell speeches, Paul Hymans
president of the assembly and Dr.
Giuseppe Motta; president of Switzer
land, told the delegates the first as
sembly had proved the league was
living organism and success.
The opinion expressed by the dele
gates who have participated mos
actively in the work of the assembly
was that it had done all that coulG
be expected of it, IL not more.
The final day was marked by al
encounter between the English dele
gates and the representatives of the
British dominions. Lord Robert Ceci
acting for South Africa and c. ]
Doherty, for Canada, provoked an
aggressive declaration by Arthur, J.
Balfour to the effect that if the as.
sembly adopted any recommendations
concerning mandates he and his sue.
eessor on the league council would
pay no attention to them.
Lord Robert Cecil and MIR. Doherty
criticized the Council for holding back
information about mandates and sup
ported the recommendation of the
mandate committee, the most import
ant of which were that the assembly
express the opinion that the resources
OF the territories under mandates
should not be exploited by the manda-
tories for their own profit or for the
profit of the allies and that the re-
cruiting of troops should not be al.
lowed in such territories.
Esperanto fell victim to a sharp
assault by Gabriel Hanolaux when the
object of encouraging the general
teaching of esperanto in the public
schools, with view to making it
eventually an international language
and the language of the league. After
a debate the assembly voted against
the proposal.
M. Hymans in his closing speech
dwelt upon the fact that the session
Of the assembly demonstrated to all
the value of the league of nations.
When the assembly spoke of dis
armament, NJ. Hymans said, the mem
oers of that body displayed keen
anxiety to lift the weight of arma-
ments from the shoulders of the
world, but realize that in the present
unsettled condition of Europe moth
Ing better could be done than had
been.

Frelaht Rates on COTTON props.

Galveston, Texas.-Ocean freight
rates on cotton to Barcelona dropped
to 81 Wednesday The rate quoted
Tuesday was $1.25. This decrease
was due to the recent drop of the
Genoa rate to Is cents some days
ago, local experts say The rate of
81 per hundred pounds applies on
high density cotton shipped from Gal.
weston to Barcelona on second class
liners. Rates to various European
ports have been steadily on the de-
cline for the last several months.
