STUDIED FORMALITY
STRESEMANN'S -COMMENT
(United Press Association.—fJopyright.) GENEVA,. 25th. September. .: With studied formality the Assembly adopted Poland's motion outlawing all wars of aggression. The method of voting was by rollcall of every nation represented in order to make the unanimity more impressive. £his was the ono item of. business which occupied the Assembly during the whole of a wet Saturday. Even eight hours' speech-making was found insufficient to deal with the recommendations on disarmament the debate on which was adjourned until Monday. Dr. Stresemann and M. Boncour were the chief speakers. The former's viewpoint may, be summarised in a sentence —namely, public opinion will'judge the League by the manner in which it deals i with disarmament, ana, if it succeeds in'every other aspect of its work, but fails in this, it will be deemed a complete failure. M. Boncour devoted hours of eloquence emphasising that the Protocol was unacceptable in>its complete form. Tho League could not afford to-fold its arms and accept a checkmate. Dr. Stresemann, in the course of his speech, said 1 that if Germany," once the greatest military Power in.the world,' had been able to disarm, other Powers could follow her example.
