The Council and the Assembly of the League The twelfth
Assembly of the League of Nations met at Geneva on Monday, and re-elected M. Tituleseu, the Rumanian Minister in London, as President. M. Briand was able to attend, and Lord Cecil represented Great Britain. M. Titulescu, in his presidential address, declared that the whole world was suffering from lack of confidence and that it was the duty of all Governments to work together and dispel the cloud of uneasiness. In times like these the very existence of such an inter- national gathering, attended by twenty-five Foreign Ministers, is a reassuring fact. On Tuesday the Assembly agreed to invite Mexico to join the League. Her absence has been significant and regrettable. The Council, as often, did its best work in private. We hope that fruit will come from the discussion of naval questions by the French and Italian representatives. The Commission of Enquiry for European Union, deprived at first of the presence of M. Briand, received reports and set up new sub-committees and lost time over a Russian proposal for an Economic Pact of Non-Aggression.
