LEAGUE ASSEMBLY
OPENED BY DR. BENES
GREATER SERVICE TO PEACE
OBSTACLES AHEAD,
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Recoived 7th September, noon.) GENEVA, 6th Sept. Dr. Edward Benes, in his opening address to the League Assembly, claimed that the year's record.' showed the increasing amplitude of the League's work, its fresh responsibilities, and ever-greater ' service to peace, but he would re- _ frain from sounding a note of tri- &' mnph or official optimism, because there were obstacles which they could not hope to surmount without difficulties. Substantial results had been achieved regarding disarmament, They had been concerned with that since the League was created. Doubtless, the disarmament problem was unsolvable in its entirety, but they were appreciably nearer the goal. He trusted that Spain's noble sentiments would prevent her abandoning a share in the common responsibilities. He also hoped that Turkey would become a member. All would welcome her.
