Multitudinous’ problems occupled five of the league commissions today; they sat simultaneously at the league headquarters, but the most trouble- some problem of all was that definite- ly fixing the method whereby non- | permament members of the council shall be elected. The system of elec- tion has never been clearly outlined, &nd today's deliberations brought no further light. China May Lose Seat. The. council now composed of four permanent members—Great Brit- ain, France, Italy and Japan; the six non-permanent members are Spain, Belgium, Brazil, China, Uruguay and Sweden. The non-permanent members are elected yearly, as the amendmnt that only two should go out every Year never was ratified. Both Poland and Caechoslovakia are campaigning for seats in the council, and it is gen- erally - expected that M. Benes of Caechoslovakia will be elected. China probably will lose her seat. The French proposed the abolition of the temporary mixed commission of the league, which handles ques- tion on disarmament, on the ground, that it contalns no representation of the governments and therefore can achieve nothing concrete in arma- ment reduction. Lord Robert Cecil opposed the French suggestion and the council came to no decision. By the Assoclated Press. GENEVA, September 26.—Dr. de la Torriente, president of the league of nations assembly, reserved the ques- tion of final and definite action by the assembly on the resolution in- terpreting article X of the covenant by declaring that, although the reso- | lution had not been accepted, he could not say the motion for its ac- ceptance was lost.

The league council will be given the details of the vote taking, and meanwhile efforts will be made to ind Versia, the only state voting against the resolution, to make its approval unanimous.. The states which abstained ‘rom voting were Albania, Costa Rica, Esthonia, Fin- land, Haiti, Latvia, J.'beria, Lithuan- ia, Panama, Poland, Siam, Czecho- slovakin and Venezuela. Says Wilson Approves. fn his address favoring the reso- fution, Sir Lomer Gouin of Canada declared the resolutlon conformed to the views held by the father of the covenant, Woodrow Wilson, and also by William H. Taft, another former President of the United States. He said the time had come for Canada to know exact! the limits of her duties and obligations as a member of_the league. Prince Mirza Khan of Persia sald the resolution weakened the value of the covenant. He declared that Per- A's geographical and political posi- tion was vastly different from that of Canada, which was situated between two oceans and furthermore was a member of the British empire, which would defend her if she were at- tacked. But Persia, he continued, sur- rounded by nations which were not members of the league, attached the greatest importance to the protection afforded by art e X, which obliged all members of the league to help & colleague whose security was im- periled Specds Experty Ileports.

Just what does covenant mean is the general end which the league seeks to attain. Five Questions Drawn.
