TELEGRAMS.

RUSSIAN COMMISSIONS.

London, "March 19.

M. Albert Thomas, director of the international labour office, interviewed, pointed out that the agenda at the meet- ing of the governing body in London next week included a proposal to send a wission of enquiry to Russia and the appointment of an international emigration mission. Mr. Thomas stated a wireless message had been received to the eflect that Russia is prepared to allow a mission to enquire into questions of fact but reserved to itself the right to send similar missions into other countries. The mission by the League of Nations would make a general enquiry while the International Labour Mission would be independent and en- quire into industrial and scria conditions, not concerning itself with political questions. It would be carried out by representative employers, labour leaders, and government experts. In order to ensure coordination between the two enquiries the international labour office was invited to nomicate one employer sad one worker on the general mission

RUMANIAN TROUBLF.

London, March 10

A critical situation has arisca in Bumania. It is reported that M. Pon who was acting as Premier in the absence of the Prime Minister, -M. Vidavoerod in London,, has resigned and the King has commissioned General Averesca to form a new Cabinet, M. Vidavocred is proceeding to Bucharest on March 16. The crisis has given rise to apprehensicas in Allied circles as M. Vaidovoevod has harmoniously co-operated with the Allies while the appointment of Averescu, it is feared, might indicate a reversion to the tactics of former Rumanian Governments.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Paris, March 18

The Secretary General of the League of Nations an-- nounces that all thirteen nations invited to join the Covenant and Pact of the League have signified their adhesion, namely Argentina, Chile. Columbia, Paraguay, Persia, Spam, Den- mark, Holland, Norway, Salvador, Sweden, Switzerland and Venezuela.
