Mr. Rowell's idea that those organisations would be utterly useless unless created by an International Convention. M. Hanotaux was wrong in blaming the Covenant; tliere was nothing wrong with the Covenant, but it was the interpretation that was now sought to be placed upon it that was wrong. He objected to any attempt, to force the Commission's report upon 1 thp Assembly. The latter must have the right of expressing even adverse oriticism upon it. when it was shown that they were aßked to do something in direct conflict with the Covenant. He thought they might create these organisations, but they could not find a single State to contribute to their upkeep. He pointed out that Article 0 provided that the expenses of the secretariat should be borne by the League, but he warned the Assembly that members were only committed to th« expenses of the secretariat. It would be an unfortunate tiling for the Lbague if members declined to contribute to the upkeep of organisation l ! about which they had not been consulted. There might be members of the Assembly who were authorised to commit their countries to the heavy cost of such organisations, but he could not. Lord Robert Cecil agreed with much of Mr. Howell's oppositon. He thought -the organisation should bo experimental for a year, until "fJiey could say how they worked. He supported Mr.' Rowell in his view that 110 vote should' at present be taken on the principle until the matter had been more fully considered. There should also be a conference between those who held views like those of Mr. Rowell and others who thought differently. 'Mr. Rowell subsequently withdrew his remarks that niight be considered to reileofc on the statesmen of Kuropean countries. He had merely wished to illus-, trate the different viewpoints, and what threatened .to be a warm debate cooled down. Js T o vote was taken and the matter adjourned pending a conference between M. Hanotaux, the reporter of the committee, Mr. Rowell, Mr. Milieu.' and others.
