M. Bourgeois assured the Assembly that the council would pursue its efforts to hasten the negotiations between the powers and the United States with regard to the terms of the mandates. He pointed out that the man- dated territories were already being, admitistered in cordifce with the spirit of the Covenant. Sir James Allen (New Zealand) pressed for prompt settlement of the terms of mandates. He declared that matary occupation was not altogether satisfactory. He declared that the terms of nundates as regards the liquor traffic would only be possible with the removal of discri- mination between the whites and natives. The Assembly unanimously adopted the report of the mandates committee.

LasDay, September 23.

The demand for national rather than local relief would increase the heady hay taxation and thus aggravate unemployment. The Government would take its final decision next week. He had very rasad to believe that the Government would decide that special assistance must be given to areas where unemployment was exceptionally acute. He was hopeful that the problem world be satisfactorily solved..;
