Th -juestion as to what are the exact relations between the council and the aiMsmbly was temporarily and partially si ttletl ty the adoption of a. Fort of woikin? basis in the form of the four t'tnt-ral principbr enunciated in the recent report of tho committee presided over by Mr. Falfour with certain amendments. Name lYmr Principle. The first of thep-o principles which set fourth that ihe council and the a rr.bly rach should be invested with particular power.? and duties and that neither should have jurisdiction to render decision in any matter which had bcn expressly committed to the other, Lord Kobert Cecil ibx:'ared miiit be amended so as to concede to the assembly tho rio'ht to examine any question 'within tho Jurisdiction of the league He contended that on the principle as expressed the assembly would bo unahtn to treat with the important Ouestion.H of disarmaments and mandates and added that hid South African delegation would not accept the report otherwise. His amendment waa accepted. The comr...ittce also accepted the proposition to eliminate the word "exclusive" from tho second principle which declares that the assembly has no power to reverse or modify a decision which falls within the exclusive, competence of the council. On the objection of the Canadians, however, this principle was reserved. Irincip!es Adopted. The third and fourth principles, fetunir iorui tno status or iepre sentlvesr sittimr on the council and tho assembly and maklnc provision for a report from the council to thc assembly, were adopted. The Argentine incident, involving the withdrawal of that delegation from the assembly -as dispo..l of luickly, the ansembly showing indifference. In.-tead of invitlm; tho dekKates back, tho assembly merely expressed roTict at their action. The only sim of feeling on the p.ort if the members was that of approval when Ixrd llobert said that no delegate boly could tcet Vn with its business if tno members were allowed to leave whenever their particular propositions were not accepted.
