The Secretary of tho League of Nations publishes a British memorandum on tho report of M. Politis, reporter of the Committee on Arbitration and Security, hi the memorandum Lord Cushendun criticises the various suggestions put forward to determine an aggressor by means of the majority vote of the Council of tho League. By this means, ho points out, it would be possible for a member of the League to be called on to apply economic or military sanctions to enforce a decision with which they individually might not agree, and might even have voted against. He declares that such methods would sap at tho base of the principle of unanimity, and so bo in tho rights of each of the States. In conclusion, Lord Cushendun repeats that tho British Government does not wish to go any further than obligations under the League pact.
