NEW LEAGUE BODY
Seeking Collaboration Of
Non-members
British Official Wireless RUGBY, February 8. The Non-Political Conference of the League of Nations, which held its first meeting yesterday at The Hague, selected Dr Colijn (Holland) as President of the ten States represented. The meeting was for the purpose of exploring the possibilities and merits of ultimately separating the technical from the political activities of the League, and is only the nucleus of an organisation which it is hoped to create.
“The Times” states: “It has been repeatedly shown that political prejudice rather than technical disagreement has been the obstacle to acceptance of the Secretariat’s plans. The more clearly, therefore, it may now be possible to separate its technical from its political work, the more likely is it that effective results will be obtained and that the non-member States will collaborate." The League Organising Committee agreed to form a central Social Economic Conference.
