League. Of Nations .at Geneva,) Ottawa, JIuaYy 18111.—The first Assembly of tile' League of Nations, which began on November 1 5t and ended on the '1Sth of Deeenber, was of great interest to the world in two respects: Firs);—in the possi- bilities of an assembly made up of representatives of so inmsy na» Hans distributed throeghout the world,. 'with 00 pony differences of ees 'of even a request being anile' for the record of an adverse vote, Ttvo things were thus demoustrat-. Nd: First, that the com01011 sense and dominance of moral sentiment, carried the Assembly over 'whist many critics thought, would be the breaking point, vlz, that in the im- portant matTers complete unanimity was necessary In order tffat conch: - slims might • be reached. Complete unanimity was Necessary and It was brought, about by the common sense and fine purpose of the delegates as Language, race and interest,' get- a whole.' If nothing else li'ad been. ting together' on any practical basis gained by the Assembly than that this exemplification of tire desire of the nations for a better method of regulating international difficul- ties than the old methods of war and their ,determination at the cost' of sectional or .individual opi'nions tobring about the better nrettrod and to work in sympathy and har- mony towards that end, the Assem- bly' would 'have thoroughly justified' the trouble and expense of bring- ingit together. The Argentine Case of sentiment and action; and se- cond, as to whether or not under such; conditions practical results along the line of the League's ideals could be ` attained. In both these respects , hostile critics were disappointed and the friends of 'the Leaguegratified at the more than expected measure in which their hopes and desires were fulfilled, Forty-two different • nations were represented, three 'delegates being allowed . and the total number of these delegates' teas . 104. Taking ,in- to' account that most of these dele gates were total strangers to each other, the process of acquaintance - There was one slight deviation from this general rule in the' case of Argentina whose delegation db- siredto have • certain propositions taken up and immediately passed upon by the Assembly itself, -• al'r though the Assembly had previous- ly decided upon its rules' of proce- dure which provided for the coni'- eration of all resolutions and pro- posals first by 'the committees and thereafter upon their report by the Assembly, As this would have nul- lified the rules of procedure, jt was found' impossible to - accede to' Air= gentine's wish, whereupon the dela» gation from that country withdrew from the Assembly in order to snake their protest more marked, The main proposition upon which Ar- gentine withdrew was the admis- sion of all, nations at once to mem- bership in the League.' The over- whelming opinion of the Assembly, however, was that membership to • the League, should be carefully con- sidered by the Commission appoint- ed therefor and dealt with with: upon their report, which, in the end, re- commended that certain require- ments should be fulfilled before •membership was given in tire• League. There ' Was universal desire that ultimately all nations should become members of the League• but there was also a feeling that , cau- tion should be exercised in the. ad- mission of new members. and! that the best of guarantees should be given -before suclfi ad- mission was allowed. Sin. new members were adinittedt on •the report of the Commission-, and the subsequent endorsement 01 the Assembly, making /the • League''S: tneinbership. at ,the pr,esent time, 418i.

This was brought about largely in two ways. The work of the Assembly was divided and entrusted to six grand Com- missions, each of which had a membership of 42, being one re- presentative from each member of the League. These Commissions al- most immediately set about their work and the discussions from day to day brought about,an intimate knowlegee of each thers' ',views and opinions. The Cominission met almost daily to continue their dis- cessierts andprepare work for the. Assembly. The second agency was the social one.

Whilst English and French remain the of ficial languages, a delegate may speak in any language, provident he furnishes a translation of the sauce in either English or French which will then go upon the records. Question Of Precedence . The question which might have beeit difficult to solve, naively, that of precedence in seating the dele- gations, was happily - arranged by snaking the seating alphabetical, so that the different delegations fell settled so Many bastions and seal, varying ddlfereuces, in the first place the Assembly organized Itself ,arid Its work, which was no light achieve- inept, Rules .0' pr4edere, had 'n be adopted, the varying Fompelencr of the 'Council and the Assembly •ha'd to be defined in a workable Ammer, the var- ious committees to be organized with their Chairmen ant secrettaries and .the nark of the league distributed thereto, Tile various techniea! organizations through which the League of Nations has to work put the obligaitous and duties imposed upon it were to be es- tablished, and as may 'be well seen great care had to be taken, both as to the,powers given to these and the ca- pacity of, the stall's responsible for carrying out the work of each, The scope of the secretariat and the whole basis of preparing the budget of the secretariat, -the the labor office and the technical organizations had to be for- mulated for discussion and, adoption by the Assembly, the method of 'providing for the expenses of the League and the control of its expenditures had to be devised and authorized by the As- sembly. These were all laboriously carried out and the League of Nations Is now complete in its three branches of co-ordinated effort—the Council, the Secretariat and the Assembly. That is the working machine is complete and hereafter will only •need supervis- ion and, amendment as amenlment comes to be found necessary. On Disarmament. The great work,however, of the Assembly transcended these necessary arrangements of basis and method of operation and had to do with the larger and more important scope of tate lea- guers' functions. The basis upon which new states should be ,almitted to the league had to be settled. The question of arinanients and war equipment, which Iles at tai very root of the ex- istence of the league, ,was thoroughly examined and keenly debated to the end that in as near a future as possible armaments should be reduced to the lowest limits possible, and that the tre- mendous expenditures hitherto invol- ved should no longer exist to burden nations and to serve as incentives for future wars. Tho overwhelming opin- ion of course 'was that E'irmaments sliould be discontinued, but that wisdom and caution must be exercised in the present conditions of the world as modifying the demand for immediate' and total disarmament, • On Mandates. The question of mandates was also carefully examined and gave rise to a keen discussion in the Assembly, the result of which was to express very strongly the opinion of the Assembly that mandates should be carried out in accordance with the original idea upon which they had been created; whose underlying principle was that these mandates should be exercised primarily in the interest of the country .governed thereunder and not in. the selfish in- terest of the mandatory power. • Werld Tribunal. • The crowning work of the Assembly •was the institution of the tribunal for 'the hearing aid settlement of interna- tional disputes which was, most: care. fully considered and which at last pass- eat the Assembly tri a very satisfactory- form. '.Twenty-two • nations have al- ready signed theagreement to submii -their differences to thistt'ibataal andt When -a majority of the members of tI11 League of Nations have. so intintatedl their approval and ratified the same; the court,will be appointed and proceed to its work; The importance of this: step cannot be overestimated.

A nnoog'st a summary of these may be mentioned the following: 1, The ,settlement of its rules of. procedure as to Its 'new powers and the refative'powers of the council and the Assembly., 2, Time laying, down of rules to guide the admission of new mlembers laid the admission of six members at the first session.. 3. ;rhe establishment of a commission to consiler proposed amendments 'to the covenant of the League, 4. The, formulation o?' principles by which the' economic blockade is to be applied or the purposes required by the .covenant. 5, The establishment of a system of budgeting and of control of the expen- diture of the League. - 6, The creation of a number of tech- nical orgmiizations to carry out the purposes of' the Covenant as laid down therein in respect to health, communi- cations and transit, economics and fin- ance, the control of the Traffic 111 opium and the traffic in women and children, and the elimination of typhus and other epidemics which have resulted from the war. 7. The, discussion and examination of the Armenian question and the arrange- ments by wliicii• a. probable settlement. may be atthiirod'.. S. The -first step taken in the°limita- tion of armaments• and their ultimate reduction.. 9. The establishment of a perman- ent court of international justice. fa. The discussion of measures to .be taken by which financial and inter- national credits may if possibly oe es- tablished, with the object of bringing about by co-ordiinited effort the quicker adjustment of the present economic and financial situation. Absence of U; S. General regret was manifested at the absence of the United'States from the membership of the League, but the feel- ing was general that the Way remained open to that country to join with the other nations of the world in complet- ing tlfe•work of peace and adjustment following the Great War in which she had taken so important a part in elimin- ating military nepotism and thus snake way for better world conditions. As respects the Canadian delegation, one must in speaking for it be appro- priately modest in his expressions. i .think it can, however be well stated that Canada's work in the Assembly compared favorably with that of other members and. that her delegation con- tributed' effectually to the results that were• brought about. Certainly her delegates were well received and were assigned' important duties in the work of the Assembly which they performed to the satisfaction of the Assembly and to, tire; credit of Canada.
