Geneva, Sept. 17. After Motta, the President of the Swiss Federal Council, had announced his Government's deci- sion not to recognise Soviet Russia is a member of the League of Nations, M. Barthou, the French "Foreign Minister, took the floor with a passionate speech recom- mending Russia's, candidacy. Bar- thou pleaded movingly that the Soviet Union could only feel a deep humillation if the application was voted down and retire to her old position of mistrust in her re- lations with other European coun- tries.
The next speaker, Lord Privy Seal Eden, declared that Great Britain had always been in favour of making the League of Nationa as representative as possible.
Baron Aloist followed by saying that Italy was desirous that the League should grant recognition to Soviet Russia, and declared herself in harmony with Barthou's declaration.
