LEAGUE OF NATIONS
SECURITY COMMITTEE SOVIET SENDING AN OBSERVER. GENEVA,- February 11. The Soviet has announced that it is sending an observer to the League Committee on Security and Arbitration on February 20. REPORT BY THE COMMITTEE. THE BASIS OF DISCUSSION. GENEVA, February 11. A voluminous report has been issued by the committee, under the chairmanship of Dr Benes, which was sitting at Prague and received and examined statements from Governments respecting security, including the British, which clearly influenced the committee. The report states that eighty-five treaties of conciliation and arbitration are in existence at present, binding thirty-eight States. The committee suggests that regional pacts should be encouraged on the lines of the Rhineland Pact, and flexible modern pacts should be prepared. These should include clauses in reference to the exclusion of war; secondly, the organisation of pacific procedure for the settlement of disputes; thirdly, a system of mutual assistance linked up with the functions of the League Council. The report only constitutes the basis of discussion for the forthcoming Security Commission.
