BALFOUR REBUKES
DEMAND IN LEAGUE
TO FIX MANDATES
Absence of United States De.
lays League in Solving
Work, He Claims.

GENEVA, Sept. 10.-Arthur ].
Balfour OF the British delegation,
speaking today at the assembly of
the League of Nations in defense of
the council which had been under
sharp fire for three days, warned
the assembly that the mandate
question was full of difficulties and
dangers and that it was venture
some 10 try as Lord Robert Cecil
proposed, 10 fix the terms of the
mandates Immediately.
He was much panied, he said, by
Hjlmar Brantiag's charges that the
council and the assembly were under
the control of a small group of
powers. He expressed surprise at
the attack of the Jugo-Slav delegate.
VI. Spaliakovitch on Albania, and at
Lord Robert Cecirs demand for the
immediate fixing of the terms Of the
mandates.
The assembly had been non-pluss-
ed by the unexpected attack on AL
bania and Mr.. Balfour at once set
out TO counterfeit its bad effects.
The assembly showed its aDprecia-
ton by frequent and ardent marks OF
approval.
United States Needed.
Mr.. Balfour pointed next to the
international court Of justice as an
achievement which was sufficient in
itself 10 justify the league and con-
found its critics who accused it OF
inaction. In treating of disarmament
as well as mandate he plainly in
timated that it was the absence OF
the United States from the league
which made it Impossible TO move
quickly.
Many Of the delegates in private
conversations sounded the same note
and while a majority maintain that
the league must and viii live, they
expect that the Washington confer
ence will adopt certain changes en-
aiding the league TO be a complete
organization.
The first week Of the assembly
ends without having developed any
new figure on the floor; the work
seems 10 be guided by the same
leaders as last year. This. with lack
Of new subjects for discussion, has
made the debate appear rather shop
worn. The election OF judges TO thu
