Sir James Allen (New Zealand) went further, demanding a reduction in the League staff. He also complained of nepotism, declaring that high official had half a dozen cousins and relations working for him.
Captain Bruce (Australia) while declaring Australia's enthusiasm and faith in the League, urged a reduction in the League's expenditure.
Mr. Doherty (Canada) thought that the League was scattering its efforts on too many subjects and should concentrate on the most important and thus save expenditure. He said that already overburdened'ommunities deprecated converting the League into a sort of charitable institution.
Mr. Wellington Koo, replying to the debate, refuted the criticisms of the Secretariat, declaring that the organisation was still in its infancy and open tox improvement. He defended the promanent committee on armaments which was doing good work.
