Flenming 26, the lutter being thus elected | bya majority oi more than twice the % number of votes cast. The result of this | eloction indicates a level headedness of ! the electorate which is very commend- | able and we take pleasure in congratu- | lating the successful candidate who we | feel will stand by the constituency and | the island in general whenever he has | the opportunity. A contributer in one | of our contemporaries was so furious at | what we had to say in regard to this | election that we fear for his safety in | these days. It would be n> *'piff2""if | he got so uncontrollable that he went | around knifing people out of sheer cha- | grin. We hope we are not as correct in | this as we were 1n the election matter. | We beg to thank Mr. V. Wulfl for his courtesy in furnishing us with the rain- fall for the estates belonging tc the West Indian Sugar Factory for the month of August and also for the present year to August 3lst. As said list came to hand t o late for this issue we hope to publish sme tomorrow. He has kindly promis- ed to furnish us with a monthly list . which we shall be happy to publish when- e .r received. e The Native Brass Band gave a very g »od concert on the Wharf last night.

Geneva, Sept. 6th. —The storm over Italy’s refusal to recognize the authority of the League of Nations to regulate her dispute with Greece gives no indication of diminishing. On tha contrary it shows signs of developing into a political ty- pnoon of the first degrece. Represents- tives of siates like Belsium, Sweeden and Uruguay went on record today as insisting upon respect for the Leasue Covenant and as being unqualifiedly co - vinced that Italy should submit the con- troversy to the League for settlement. The cause of worid peace demanded it, S 3. L ¥ 13 AN the.very iife of the League itself was at stake, several of the stztesmen declared before the council session, if the cove- nant was defied, precioas guarantees for the small nations of the earth weould cease to exist. The eouneil again avoid- ed tzking direet league action cn the Italian attitude towards the League, but endeavoured to advance a compromise plav caleulated to hasten a solutien of the Greco-Italian erisis, through tha ¢onl- laboration of the League of Nations and the couneili of Ambassadors. This plan was put ferward by the -Spanish mamber of the Ambassadors Council, Count Qui- nones De Leon. It was not adapted, but the council. agreed that the minutes of todays session chould he {orwarded to the VPavis body for its evlightenment. Signor Salandra, head of the Italian Del- egati-n, absolutely refused to accept all parts of the resolution presented which proposed that Italy recogrise.the compe- tence of the l.eague to intervere, and even questioned ihe vight of the Coupeil of Ambassadors to seitle the questiop of ceneral reparations which Italy bas de- manded of Greece because of the muider ot the Italian oflicers Among the sug- gestions made in the Spanish proposal was that the League iepresentatives should assist in the official ernquiry into the assassinarion and that the perma- nent ¢ouit of international justice should decide the indemnity Groece must pay | aly. ‘lbose in the crowded council cLamb.r today witnessed a mecling which lacked notling fas regards drama- tic incidents Lord Robert Cecil gave warning again that the competency of the League to intervene was in Great Britain’s view certain, and he indicated very strongly that s mething more would bhe dgone about li. The ciear volce of M. Paui Hymans, the Belgian leader, rang tbrougi the chamber with the words that the issue invoived was exceedingly grave for the tuture of the l.esgue. He was convineed that the covenant applied to the Lreec-itaban dispute, and he add- ed that, ""the pact forms a precious guar- antee for the lesser staies and application es Its stipulations is essential:y to the maintenance of the new order of things in the world in which all countries have placed supreme hope.” M. Hjalmar Branting, of Sweden, subscribed (0 the Beigian view. ‘The Uruguayan delegate, Dr. Afterto Guani, declared that the competency of the League in such inter. national questicns, which sffecied thLe peace of the world. could not be disputed, The couneil acdjourned without fixing tor the next meeting., ‘l'te chairman, Vis- ¢ urt Ishii, said. *'Tre e remains the question of the competeney of the coun- cil and the League. olt is a judicial guestion and a grave cne. 1 suggest that we go into that at a later session’’.
