The League Secretariat
The Committee of Inquiry appointed upon a British resolution at the last Assembly to examine the organiza- tion of the Secretariat at Geneva has issued its Report, which is now being considered by the Governments. Several new Under Secretary-Generals are foreshadowed, and it is emphasized that candidates should be preferably citizens of countries not permanently represented upon the Council. Salaries generally are put at a slightly higher rate, and the changes would increase the 1931 expenses of the League by about one and a half million gold francs. A minority Report, sponsored chiefly by an Italian member of the Committee, seeks to destroy the whole principle of the international civil service by recommending a system of national delegates seconded for service at Geneva. The Assembly will have to take the final decision. An important session of the Inter- national Committee on Intellectual Co-operation opened on Wednesday. Professor Murray has been re-elected
President. * * * *
