WIDE INQUIRY INTO NUTRITION
WORK CARRIED OUT BY LEAGUE OF NATIONS
(United Press Association)
WELLINGTON, December 22. Mr J. V. Wilson, chief of the central section of the Secretariat of the League of Nations at Geneva, arrived by the Wanganella on a 10 weeks holiday. He said the normal activities of the League continued as usual in spite of various political crises. Some -of its most important work this year was concerned with a world-wide inquiry into nutrition and the problem of raw materials. The Assembly of the League had pledged its moral support to China, and had asked members not to impede China’s powers of resistance. This did not seem a very substantial result, but the action of the League at any time was simply determined by the measure of collaboration its members agreed upon for a particular matter. Even, so, the League still offered some obstacles to aggression, “if we may judge by the hatred with which it is regarded in many quarters.” He said that in its principal function of political work there was no question. It was still a workable proposition if the Powers which sincerely believed in its ends pursued their beliefs wholeheartedly.
