OPENING ADDRESS.
(Received this dav at 11.0 a.m.) ' GENEVA, Sept. G
Bcncs in an opening address to the League of Nations claimed the year’s record showed an increasing amplitude of the League's work, fresh responsibilities, and ever greater service in the interests of peace, but he refrained from sounding a note of triumph 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 therewith .since the League was created. Doubtless the disarmament problem was unsolveablo in its entirety, but they were appreciably nearer the goal. He trusted Spain’s noble sentiments would prevent her abandoning her share in the. common .responsibilities and lie also liop*d Turkey would become a member. All the world would welcome her. CHAIRMAN OF ASSEMBLY. GENEVA, Sept. G.
