LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
REDUCED EXPENDITURE DEMANDED. (Australian Press Association—United Service.) GENEVA, Sept. 11. Directly the Fourth Commission opened tiiere was a chorus of demands to cut the budget of the League of Nations, which at present is 26, 8/ 1,000 gold francs, an increase of 1,500,000 gold francs on last year and 4,750,000 gold fran-s on 1927. The delegates had a tangible subject for discussion in the British draft resolution referring the budget to the supervisory committee, with a request to save at least 1,000,000 francs. Air. G. Locker-Lampson spiritedly demanded a check in expansion, emphasising the fatuity of holding conferences on subjects already covered by other international bodies. It was wasteful, he said, to hold labour and maritime conferences separately instead of concurrently.
