About this time Senor de Leon must be feeling very important at the thought of sitting at the head of such an august assemblage, with the representatives of Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Belgium, Brazil, Czecho-Slovakia, Sweden and Uruguay ranged about him under his direction. But the League is yet such a loosely knit body that the importance of its officers as such is small, and that the importance of those who attend meetings is only in proportion to the power of the nation which each represents...

A regular precedure to regulate coercive action was asked...
...gusty streets of Edinburgh, where (except for U. S. trippers, itinerant golfers and English merchants seeking financial advice) you seldom see aught but Scotsmen, there walked last week a Chinaman and a Swede, a Dane and an Italian, a Swiss, a Greek, a Frenchman, a Hungarian, a Belgian, a Czecho-Slovakian, a German, a Persian. Americans were there. Colonials from Canada, India, Rhodesia, were there; swarthy sons, also, of Spain and of Hayti. Almost all pedagogs, they awaited the gavel-tap of the Rt. Hon. Sir John Gilmour, His Majesty's Secretary for Scotland, indicative of the opening...
