EMPIRE VIEWS
ON LEAGUE FUNCTIONS
MR JORDAN CRITICAL
RAPID SANCTIONS URGED
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (British Official Wireless.) Received September 30, 11.33 a.m. RUGBY, Sept. 29. Mr S. M. Bruce (Australia), H.H. the Aga Khan (India) and Mr W. J. Jordan (New Zealand) were among the speakers who continued tlie general debate in the League Assembly at Geneva. Mr Bruce said the Assembly should respond whole-heartedly to the lead given by Britain, the United States, and France in their recent monetary agreement. Exchange controls, tariffs, quotas, and other trade restrictions had led to much economic unrest, and the opportunity was now present for solving tiiese problems. The Aga Khan said that to condemn the League after the sixteen years of its short life because they had learnt that men and nations were imperfect was as foolish as to condemn all philosophies and all religions because of the present state of the world. Mr Jordan criticised the failure of the League to apply sterner measures in support of the Covenant during the itaio-Ethiopian dispute. Sanctions had to be immediate and effective. New Zealand was prepared to do its part in making collective security a reality, he said.
