League’s Next Move SESSION HAS BEEN HISTORIC Received Sunday, 9.50 p.m. GENEVA, Sept. 28. Although the League Assembly adjourned this course will enable a recall at 24 hours’ notice. Geneva will be almost deserted as most of the delegates are returning home this afternoon. Even members of the Council are leaving Geneva for a few days. M. Benes, the president, announcing the adjournment, stated that probably it would bo unnecessary to reconvene the Assembly. He added: ‘ ‘ The session has been historic as a declaration that the great Powers brought hope that the League after years of trial is becoming a new moral, political and even material force.’’ Nothing short of an act of war will produce a fresh development in Geneva in the next live or six days. The work of the Committee of Thirteen is being carried on by second strings but apart from the decision on the Emperor’s request for observers the Committee of Thirteen’s report is mostly technical as the recommendations forming the annex are not contemplated until the return of the heads of - the delegations. The task is necessarily long and the Council also desires to avoid the appearance of haste in arriving at its judgment.
