The League of Nations Council, with Dr. Stresemann (Germany) presiding, opened with a, humorous incident, a photographer asking M, Btriand to more a little to the right. “Ah,” said- M. Rriand, “that is what many people want me to do.” After that, the report of the Permanent Mandates Commission was adopted. This, rejected the hearing of petitioners by the Commission. It was considered that while the Commission should be available to all possible sources, of information it would be undesirable to attain this object by means which might alter the character of the Commission itself. Sir Joseph Cook (Australia) sat at the Council table during this discussion .
