 Forenoon Session
 The forenoon session of the as- sembly was taken up almost eX- clusiveIy by the reading the the reports of Nj. Poitis and Dr. Benes who explained the reports and urged their unanimous appreciation.
 Both received prolonged ovations, the reception given M. Politis being particularly enthusiastic in view of his protracted efforts during the last three days to solve the prob lem created by the Japanese de- mands. Dr. Benes emphasized that the coming disarmament con ference was firmly bound up with the protocol because arbitration, se- curity and disarmament were in separable. He urged speedy rati- fication of the protocol by the vari ous states 10 make it possible to convoke the disarmament confer- ence quickly.
 Holland Accepts
 At the opening Of the afternoon session, Johnkheer J. Loudon, of Holland, accepted the protocol on behalf of his country. He said. how ever, that in regard to the changes made in the protocol during the last few days, his feeling was one of hesitation.
 Former Premier Aristide Briand of France was received with ring ing applause when he announced that France adhered fully to the protocol and was ready to sign 1t.
 At the opening of the session of the assembly he was dubious, he said, that the delegates would be able to solve so difficult and so complex a problem as that treated in the protocol and he thanked its authors for the successful work they had done.
 When the man In the street hears tonight" he continued, that the nations have solemnly prom ised to make war on war, there vii be great movement of relief ar satisfaction"

 He spurned the motion thai France was inclined toward miiitar ism and painted a word picture oi "the true France" which provoked an outburst of applause.
 France Agrees
 France, he said, had armed her self to defend the principles Of the French revolution in former days and to defend herself in the last war but "she does not hesitate to Collaborate in the leagues work for peace and disarmament"
 The former psemier recalled that France had already cut down the period of military service by one halt and the number of peacetime cffectiyes in nearly the same pro- portion. He then. recalled his na- tion's response to the appeal to par take in the Washington conference.
 Referring again to the protocol, NJ, Briand said; Whatever scof- fors may say, they will find it a really serious obstacle against war" He then stressed the advantages of the checks and delay, contained In the protocol, which would give tive for dissipating that mystic at mosphere in which wars are be- ! gotten"
