The first Assembly of the League of Nations ended its
labours on Saturday last. In its closing sessions the Assembly agreed to admit Bulgaria, Albania, Finland, Luxemburg, and Costa Rim to membership. On the other hand, it rejected the claims of Armenia, because the League could not undertake as yet the task of protecting that unhappy country. The applications of Esthonia, Latvia, and Lithuania were rejected ; Georgia was asked to wait. Azerbaijan and the Ukraine were refused admission, inasmuch as it was not clear that they had stable Governments. The tiny State of Liechtenstein was also repulsed, Switzerland alone supporting the claim of her little neighbour. We are glad that the Assembly unanimously accepted Albania as an independent State worthy of membership. Foreign intrigue in Albania should now cease.
