TO RESCUE WORLD FROM RUIN
Executive Council Is Criticized for
inaction During the Last Year In
Polish and Russian War.

Geneva-Immediat admission OF
Germany and the other former enemy
states to the league of nations was
urged before the assembly of the
league by George Nicholl Barnes, of
the British delegation. Representing
as he did the laboring people of Great
Britain, said Mr.. Barnes, he knew the
great majority Of them demanded that
all the enemy states be admitted with
out delay
The British delegate recalled the
fact that Germany had taken part al
ready in the deliberations Of the inter
national labor bureau established by
the league.
"The people of Gret Britain whom
represent here" he said, 'do not for
get that the central empires plunged
the world into war. They do not fo--
get the misery and devastation caused.
But the question now is to rescue the
world from ruin, and the cooperation
of the former enemy states is needed"
Mr.. Barnes, in his speech, which
was dlivered in course of discussion
on the report to the assembly made
by the executive council of the league,
spoke approyingly of the action Of the
council on some questions, but criti-
cised- its inaction during the last
year while Poland and soviet Russia
were engaged in hostilities.
