About New States, The committee on the admission of new members finally agreed today that it s impossible to admit now the new states carved out of old Russian #prritory. The theory of the com- mittee Is that these states will even- ually form part of a new Russian nfederation entirely changing thelr osont status. The committee will commend, however, that, while ese states are not admitted to full rembership, their delegates shall be wllowed to sit in the assembly in a consulting capacity without the right Lo vote. Tmportant Problems. Among the more important ques- jons which will come before the as- embly this week, is admission of ustria and Bulgaria to the League JNations.

There is virtually no ppposition in the case of Austrm.
