No effort should be spared to induce a reversal of that decision. A number of applications for admission would be placed before the assembly at the meeting in November at Geneva. He stated that great difficulty had arisen in settling the class of mandates relating to the ex-German territories in Africa and the Pacific Inlands. The question which bad arisen with France as regards the Cameroons and Togoland and with Japan as regards the Pacific Honda mandates bad so far not been submitted to the League because of a desire to obtain unanimity. It was hoped that woul be reached shorily, after which referance would be made under the terms of the ovenant. He denied that the Government was not serious regarding the League. There was no cause for disappoint ment or despair about its future. A career of real practical utility lay before it.
