A sub.committee of committee No. 6 which has been considering the question of mandates held stormy sessions yesterday and Monday, some of the members, iIncluding C. J. Doherty of Canada and Dr. Nansen of Norway, pushing for action, while athers appeared indifferent. On the program was the task of electing new members to the league, choosing of four new elective mem- bers of the council and the disposing of questions regarding the ‘‘white slave” trafic and the oplum trade. During the discussion, Dr. Welling- ton Koo of the Chinese delegation re- viewed the cfforts by China during more than a century to suppr the opium habit, He recognized, he said, the great debt of gratitude Chin owed the United States for America’s atd in this work. The committee's suggestions were adopted by the assembly and the sub- Ject of the “white slave” traffic was taken up. ‘The propositions are that the coun- tries wh'ch adhered to the interna- tional convention of 1904 be invited to send delegutes to another interna- tional conference to be held before the assembl also that the council appoint a committee to investigate the deportation of women and children in Asia M'nor. When the “white slave” resolutions came to a vote they were unanimously adopted by the assembly.
