WOMEN IN THE LEAGUE.
LATIN DELEGATES PUZZLED. DIFFERING VIEWPOINTS. London, September 30. Sir Mark Sheldon has returned from Geneva greatly impressed by the advantages accruing to Australia and Canada by their direst representation in the League of Nations, but not enthusiastic over the special representatives, who are not as closely in touch with the problems of other Dominions, no matter how able they may be personally. Instead of Australia’s five delegates he regards three as ample. Women delegates who came from Scandinavia. Britain, and Australia dealt with delicate subjects, and the representatives of Latin races failed to comprehend their point of view. On the other hand, the women failed to under, stand the Latins, each approaching the matter from different angles and with different traditions. “Perhaps the women delegates,” said Sir Mark, “would have more influence if all the delegates were women.”
“When the time is ripe and Germany is willing, the League will be enormously strengthened by her admission," concluded Sir Mark.
