THE SAN FRANCISCO CONFERENCE

Slit,—May I point out in reply to Dr. David Thomson that it is only on matters of procedure that the agreement of at least two of the smaller numbers of the Council of the World Security Organisation is to be necessary? When actinn of any kind is to be taken the affirmative votes of all Great Powers are necessary, though as long as the action only refers to the peaceful settlement of a dispute a Great Power, a party to the dispute, may not vote.—I am, Sir, yours, &c., KATHARINE ATHOLL, Chairman, British League for European Freedom.
