THE LEAGUE AS A SCHOOL.

Miss Mary Mcdowell we'll known in social welfare
circles calls League IF Nations assembly school
of new diplomacy She has been attending the as
semby for a month sitting in committee meetings and
talking with representatives from many lands.
The diplomacy she has observed there is new in
several respects. In the first place the weak and
small nations sit side by side with the powerful and
large nations the former speak out their minds
any problem which up just freely as do the
others. Big and little alike have free access to all
the information gathered y the seeretariat and the
commissions.
Furthermore the diplomacy she observed there
achieved constructive things and made progress
toward just settlements in many matters because an
public allowed witness discussions ana
because the press of the world was on hand.
The biggest problems left by the World war in
Europe have not been turned TO the league yet
various Until the league does handle
those matters it will not be complete success. But
most visitors consider the outlook cheerful and hopeful
the league members laying strong founda-
tion of mutual understanding, useful accomplishment
friendly cooperation in of the lesser matters
international relations. They not be averting
all military crises, they avertng lot of
secondary complications and tribulations i'll ways That
will have far-reaching beneficial results
