*DISCUSSION.
The Rev. J: KIRK BACONACHIE WAS asked by the CHAIRMAN to continue the discussion. Mr. MACONACHI thought it hard to see what such a League da was proposed could do beyond passing a re- solution sending it to Washington and then dissolving.
Mr. H. B. WELLS said he, too, was not prepared for such a large proposition as Mr. Pollock had put forward. Not much would be gained by passing resolutions and telegraphing them to the Pacific Conference. "We should aim at some thing practical," said Mr. Wells, "and, the best way for us to get to work would be on lines of social service, locally. There is plenty of room in Hongkong to attack Bucial evils."
M. J. MCGUIGAN desired, radical changes in world conditions to remove
