BRITISH EMPIRE AND THE LEAGUE'

CANDIDATES FOR THE COUNCIL,

[By Leslie R. Aldous.]

In international circles, consider able speculation is going on in con- nection with the forthcoming elec tions to the Council of the League of Nations at this year's League Assembly. The Council ́is, in effect, the League's Cabinet. Five Great Powers, including Great Britain, hold permanent seats and there are nine other temporary members. Three of the latter have to surrender their seats every year, and other nations are elected to

members.

She will undoubtedlyouth find a great deal of support, a though.many people do not see why she should go over the heads of Australia, New Zealand, or South Afrien, which have had self- government and have been loyal members of the League longer than Ireland.

China's case, however, must also be considered. That unhappy

troubled waters. The Nanking Government is officially recognised at Geneva, but the League members may well doubt whether it has con- trol in the outlying provinces. Yet many of them feel that opinion in China is torn between Geneva and Moscow.

Recently, with public health and other problems, the League has shown that. it can be of service to China with its proing, 4.16 p.m. blems of re-organisation. The friendly gesture of electing. China to the League Council might well prove an important factor making for stability.

The Dritish Dominions are eligible for election to the Council, although Great. Britain' may be said to speak for the whole Empire. Until a few years ago, the position was doubtful, but the Irish Free State brought a "test case" and received several votes, although not sufficient to secure election. Canada, which was chosen the fol- lowing year, is one of the three States whose terms of office are drawing to a close, the others being Finland and Cuba.

Will another member of the Empire be elected to take Canada's place? Before the League Assem bly, the way the voting will go can usually be predicted with One nome degree of assurance. Latin American State is invariably .chosen, and it is highly probable

Next year, this gesture might be too late. The 54 members of the League will have to make up their minds. As for Ireland, if she is not chosen, she must console her. sell with the thought that there will be another chance in 1931.

Previously the accused was charged on many counts of alleg. éd embezzlement and was acquit- ted by Mr. A. W. G. H. Gruntham. As the present case depends on an exhibit produced in the previous case, Mr. F. X. d'Almada, sen., for the defence, claimed autrefois acquit. He said that the com- plainant had elected to prosecute the accused under the Larceny Ordinance on 22 charges and hav- ing done that he was precluded from further proceedings under. the Forgery Ordinance. He then quoted various authorities to sub- stantiate his contention of autre- fois acquit in which it was laid down that a man having been im- perilled on a previous occasion was entitled to plead autrefois acquit.

Before the case was adjourned until Monday, August 25, Mr. Lo, intimated that his answer to Mr. d'Almada's submission was short. The meaning of the Ordinance was very obvious and did not mean anything, like what his friend said it meant.
