LEAGUE OF NATIONS
(By Electric Telegraph —Lon/ng.
HOLLAND AND LEAGUE. (Received this day at 10.10 a.m.) HAGUE, Jan. 14. Government have submitted to tilt Bureau of the Second Chamber a Bijl reserving to ‘the Queen, authority to adhere to the League of Nations. 'ln an explanatory memorandum, the Government outlines the imperfections in the Covenant; as for instance the Netherlands joining the League must renounce her privilege and position as a neutral. It is also pointed out that the proposed permanent Court of international Justice is very much in the air. Small powers have scarcely any influence in the constitution or work of the administrative Council of the League. Nevertheless the Government find adhesion necessary, as the Netherlands otherwise would be placed in an intolerable international position. Despite the drawbacks however, the League bears the seeds of development which may be profitable to humanity.
