DELEGATE
.S1lRS MEET
Rowley Asks
Assembly to Control
Organizations.

Wilson has completed his recon-
mendations with regard to the
boundaries of Armenia and has for
warded them to the League of Ma
tions in session at Geneva, it was
said today at the state department.
Geneva, Dec. Shy The Asso-
ciated Press. J-Relations between
the technical Organizations Of the
League of Nations, as well as those
between the council and assembly
were considered today by delegates
to the assembly meeting here.
1t was expected the discussion of
the scope and powers of the mill
tary, naval and aerial commission
might develop what connection it
may have with the leagues inter-
national force that is being sent to
supervise the plebiscite in -Lith-
uania.
On one occasion, Lord Cecile
Roberts, delegate from South Al
rica, referred to this commission
as "staff" This appellation, how
ever, was distasteful to many dele
gates who do not want to encour-
age the idea of the milNarization of
the league.
The possibility of conflict be-
tween the league and the various
powers has arisen as result Of the
decision Of the committee on ad-
misssDA Of new states excepting
Albania. and it is Likely to be DIS
cusset on the floor of the assembly
when that committees report is
considered. Lord Robert Cecile has
insisted stoutly that Albania should
be admitted TO the league.
Rene Viviani OF France, and Sig
nor ssagliano of Italy, have opposed
this step on the ground that Al
bars! has not been recognized by
.&nysRpwer,s and that admission, at
this time might interfere with ma
ton policies Of some governments.
They were able to secure postpone
ment of Albania's application. but
Lord Robert reserved the right to
continue the discussion on the floor
of the assembly.
Two Year Term.
The commission considering the
manner in which the four elective
members of the council shall be
chosen, has decided they are to be
elected for term Of two yars. AT
the expiration OF this time, they
will be eligible for two years more
but after the second term, they will
be ineligible until after four years
have elapsed.
When the assembly meets again
next September, it will receive a
report from special committee to
which argentina's proposed amend
ment to the leagues covenant was
referred.
All proposed amendments have
been sent to this committee.
Gustav Ador, of Switzerland ex.
planned that it was proposed to
set up these organizations with
consultative powers only, the as.
sembly losing none of its powers
in SO doing.
Lord Robert Cecile said hi
thought Mr.. Rowell was mistaken
in thinking the organization:
would fall under the control o.
Europe. All the world must CO.
operate in all the leagues work
he declared.
Replying to M. Hanotaux's in
depreciation of his remarks as al
attack upon European statesmen
Mr.. Rowell said he did not SO in
tend them and that if any delegate
so construed his remarks he hat
no hesitation in Withdrawing hi
words.
MIR. Rowell's second appearance
on the speakers stand removed thu
embarrassment his frankness ha,
produced in certain parts of thu
assembly, and he was applauded aft
er proposing adjournment of tn
debate until tomorrow in order t,
obtain further study for the pur
pose of concilliating tie divergen
views.
