INSTITUTE

GENEVA, September 23. Before the first committee, discussing the Protocol, Mr. Mine-ichiro Adachi (Japanese Ambassador to Belgium), explained that he was obliged to reserve his attitude, owing to having received no definite instructions from Tokyo.

The Assembly unanimously adopted the committee's resolution in favour of basing the pro posed Institute of Intellectual Co-operation at Paris, despite the opposition of the Australian Labour Leader, Mr. Chariton. The latter contended that Geneva-not Paris-should be the seat of the Institute, otherwise the Institute would depend partly on the French Parliament, not the League.
