due to the activity of the Czecho-Slo-vakian representative, Dr. Benea, on the Reduction of Armaments Committee, led to a protest by the Chinese Delegation, which complains that the principle of the geographical distribution of nonpermanent members is not respected and the Council deprived of the co-operation of at least one Asiatic State.
