Paris, September 30. At the unveiling of a war monument at Bois D'Aills M. Poin- vare said Germany daily gave fresh proofs of her failure to under- dand. The Reich in proclaiming the necessity for ceasing passive resistance in the Ruhr sought to cover its retreat by the discharge "of blank ammunition, but when the Reich contested the legality of

France must therefore rensins on guard. The Berlin ovemment could not do otherwise than end resistance in the Ruhr was no longer able to finance it, and knew it ran the risk of poiling the local population from Reich, but the grading clamation being inevitable the truce meant nothing.

ELECTION TO LEAGUE COUNCIL.
CHINA OUT OF THE RECKONING.
Geneva, September 30. In connection with the election of Uruguay, Brazil. Belgiura. Sweden, Czecho-Slovakia and Spain as non-permanent members of he Council of the Learue of Nations, it is noteworthy that Chins. which obtained only tea votes, has been eliminated for the ensuing year in favour of Czecho-Slovakia, whose representative. Doctor Bene-, has been very active on the Reduction of Armaments Com- ittee, while Persia and India. with fourteen and two votes. respectively, and the Netherlands, with four, have also been un- successful. The Chinese delegation protested against China's non- e-election, asserting that the principle of geographical distribution of non-permanent members had not heen respected, and deploring the restriction of choice of non-permanent members of the Council *epriving the Council of the important co-operation of at least one siatic State. The delegation fears that the non-observance of this rinciple may discourage the Far Eastern states, and hopes the possible consequent lack of interest by the League in China will not change into her temporary or even permanent abstention, which
would be very regrettable in the interests of all concerned.
