Sir Austen Chamberlain continu-! ed that if the Council was regard ed as a committee to be packed, ho would despair of the League. But the Council, excepting members of quite secondary importance, never} could act by a majority..

"It is only by unanimity that the Council can proceed, and the ideo that it is of any consequence to anybody to try to number votes be-{ forehand to create a group or party! which shall have a larger number of voices than another group or party, is futile and absurd to any body who understands the practical working of the Counell,"

The Foreign Secretary continu- ed: "We are going to meet at the ueual quarterly meeting of the Council to consider whatever business is ripe for discussion and decision. But this meeting is of special, consequence because Ger
