The leaders of tho Nationalists and Labourites, both former representatives at tho League, and othor membefs strongly opposed tho resolution, stressing tho usefulness of the league and pointing out that the recent labour legislation in India was largely due to the eiforta of tho international labour organisation forming part of the machinery of the league.
