MORE TOLERANCE

LET THERE BE LIGHT.

League's Work May Pierce Clouds Of Darkness.

SESSION CLOSED.

(Australian Press Assn.—United Service.)

(Received 11 a.m.) GENEVA, September 20. After the voting on the Budget the session of the League of Nations Assembly closed.

M. C. Zahle (Denmark), President, expressed the opinion that the Assembly had learned to employ the language of tolerance in international brotherhood. Thus the League's workers may wriously build the walls of an edifice whose pinnacles would pierce the clouds which had hung over the world since its origin and the League will at last reach light.

Lord Lytton, on behalf of India, who had previously, strongly deprecated the increasing budgets, specially that of the International Labour Office, urged the officers to exercise greater care in expenditure, otherwise India might be compelled to vote against the Budget.

M. Denva said that the League Council had passed a resolution urging all Governments, privately , , to negotiate with a view to reaching an understanding and thus to permit of a successful meeting of the Preparatory Commission of the D; armament Council.

Ho had instructed the secretary to convene a meeting of the committee for the supervision of the private manufacture of war material prior to the next session of the Council with a view to the submission of data gathered to a special conference to be held simultaneously with the General Disarmament Conference.
