Augustin Edwards, Chilean minister

League of Nations assembly, plans to
return to Chile by the direct route
early in the winter, being obliged to
defer his visit to the United States
until next April. owing to the pres
ent crowded condition of the steam
ers plying from Kew York to Chilean
ports.
Senior Edwards stated that when
he visited the United States. he
would confer with numerous persons
there who are interested in the
League of Nations.
1T is apparent that league inter-
est is growing in the United States"
he said. 1T is my opinion that the
United States did an unconscious
service to the league by staying out
SO long. They prevented the leagues
activities taking mischievous forms.
It is now apparent that the league
is working in the right directions to
fulfill its mission in the world. /
believe the United States will soon
be ready to participate.
