explained
the

the

First
there

the

delegates
from
all

The
last
session
had
been
of
about
one
month's
duration.
There
was
also
the
council

consisting
of
sixteen
members,
five
ofwhom
were
per
manent
and
the
remainder
elective
each
year.
The
permanent

ried
on
the
routine
work
of
the
league.
This
was
presided
over
by
Sir
Eric
Drummond,
a
great
Scotchman,
who
received
a
salary
of
$50,-000
a
year
and,
naturally,
wielded

in

and

told
of
the
work
that
is
being
accomplished
toward
this
goal
by
the
League
of

He
described
in

the

that

Mrs.

F.
McNaughton.
president
of
the
Women's
Canadian
Club,
was
in
the
chair
Besides
the
guest
of
honor
and
the
president,
there
were
seated,
at

past
presidents
and
officers
of

club.
All
the
accomodation
that
had
been
provided
was
fully
taken
up.
The
assistant
to
the
president
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways
is
well
qualified
to
speak
on
the
subject
of
"The
League
of
Nations."
For
nine
and
a
half
years
he
was
associated
with
the
league
as
technical
adviser
for
railways.
Col.
Hiam
was
on
the
Big
Mis
he
was
a
part
owner,
when
he
re
ceived
the
call
to
go
to
London
to
Join
the
leigue
service.
He
told
how
the
league
was
an
outcome
df
in
which
It
was
provided
that
ma-the
first
clause
In
the
peace
treaty
chinery
should
be
established
to
preserve
the
future
peace
of
the
world.
This
was
known
as
the
Covenant
of
the
League
of
Nations.
The
League
of
Nations
was
at
first
regarded
with
lack
of
seriousness
on
the
part
of
the
governments
of
the
nations.
However,
that
had
changed
and,
at
the
last
assembly
of
the
league
last
September,
there
were
no
less
than
eleven
prime
ministers
of
various
nations
In
attendance.
Nine-tenths
of
the
population
of
the
world
was
now
represented
In
the
league.
Its
work
was
not
entirely
of
a
theoretical
nature
but
instead
was
highly
practical.
The
league
consisted,
Col.
Hiam
ed
the
covenant.
These
nations
now
numbered
fifty-four
in
all.
Russia.
Mexico
and
United
States
were
the
only
nations
who
had
persistently
stood
outside
the
league.
Others
such
as
Spain
and
Argentine
had
threatened
to
retire
but
were
still
members.
Brazil
which
could
not
obtain
a
seat
on
the
council,
was
the
only
nation
which
had
actually
dropped
out.
Apart
from
Russia,
Mexico,
United
States
and
Brazil,
the
league
was
universal
and
some
of
its
greatest
support
was
received
from
Germany
and
others
of
the
so-called
ex-enemy
countries.
Col.
Hiam
discussed
the
matter
of

All
negotiations
were
subject
to
ratification
by
the
United
States
Congress
and
it
had
been
unfortunate
that
President
Wilson
had
fallen
Into
disfavor,
the
country
declining
to
have
nothing
to
do
with
anything
he
had
been
associated
with.
The
league
had
suffered
a
political
fate,
as
far
as
the
United
States
was
concerned.
,
That
United
States
would
Join
the
league
within
the
space
of
the
next
few
years
was
confidently
predicted
by
Col.
Hiam.
The
attitude
of
that
country
toward
the
league
was
changing.
An
American
office
had
been
opened
at
Oeneva
and.
through
the
contributions
of
its
citizens,
the
United
States
was
giving
more
to
the
financial
support
of
the
league
than
any
other
nation.
The
country
was
represented
at
all
meetings
of
the
league
and
had
only
recently
Joined
the
International
Court.
Without
United
8tates
there
would
always
be
a
great
leakage
where
international
pressure
might
j
be
brought
to
bear.
Col.
Hiam
ex-1
pressed
the
belief
that
the
league
could
get
along
very
nicely
without
either
Russia,
Mexico
or
Brasil.
