The Council of the League of Nations, at a public
session in London on Wednesday, commended Persia for applying to the League in regard to the Bolshevik violation of Persian integrity at the Caspian port of Enzeli. Lord Curzon stated that the Council had agreed to a resolution which recited the facts and expressed the intention of waiting to see whether the Bolsheviks would fulfil their promise to evacuate Enzeli. M. de Fleuriau reported that the Bolsheviks had again refused to admit a League Commission of Inquiry, on the plea that the Polish war made it inconvenient and that the Poles had been assisted by members of the League. We are glad to see that the League's programme of business is rapidly lengthening. The more work that it has to do, the sooner will it gain the confidence and respect of the public in every country.
