OYKIUIMI IN Till: LEAGUE.
>n interesting hit of Information In
connection with the meeting of the
Assembly of the League of Nations at
Geneva, hi thai "faced fat the first
time with the prospect of having some
real work to do, the employees of the
tongue secretarial have formed .1
trades union lo protest against hav?
ing to work overtime The secretary*
general has proposed a special rate
of pay for overtime work, hul the
agitators are proceeding all the same
to unlonlaathui of the League."
Owing lo tin tremendous Import?
ance of Ihe bualneaa of the League, it
is most desirable that only competent
pemnns he employed In ha service,
and salaried should be commensurate
with the responsibilities Involved; but
nothing could be more unfortunate
titan that the League should becorm
the shining mark of grafting utlice
seekers who era looking for easy
berths with good pay, with no Idea <?>
giving adequate service In return.
Since the meetings of the Assembly
will he only occasional, it will mean
tin- alternation ol per.oils of extreme
activity with longer periods of com?
parative Idleness for many persons re?
tained for League service, Adjust?
ments of lime and pay should be
i need on I his fact.
The expenses of the League will of
necessity be heavy. The Interests of
all concerned demand that they he
adminlatered honestly and In a bus -
pen like manner, which shall ellml
ate grafting on O large <>r potty scale
While this nation Is not now In u po?
sition to express active concern In tin
matter, it is one of the subjects which
may call for inquiry hereafter,
Tin: kcoxomic no vet nr.
Many amendments t<. tin League of
Nations are to bo proposed at th<
present session of the Assembly at
Cleneva, The most striking Is one
offered by the Scandinavian coiin*
tiies to the effect that a neighboring
state shall not be obliged lo Join In
the blockade of a meiubor breaking
the covenant, If it Is In danger of in?
vasion. The proposal is poignantly
reminiscent Of the fear < I Herman in?
vasion which restrained some of the
adjacent, nations from declaring war
upon her In Ihe laic conflict, and ade?
quate proof thai Ihe frar still exists.
The economic blockade at outlined
in tho present draft of tin <? ivennnt
U the means to be used In preference
I to war to bring recalcitrant nations to
terms. It is the strong .ma of peace.
To abrogate it as proposed would rob
it of its effectiveness, it nclghhorini
