Council Meeting

In Rome in the Doria Palace--lent by Prince Doria, descendant of the famed Genoa Admiral--containing 1,000 rooms with accommodations for 6,000 troops, assembled the Council of the League of Nations.

Among the 40 agenda the Council was particularly concerned over:

1) Discussion of the Protocol to the Covenant of the League (TIME, Oct. 13).

2) Explanation of the recent happenings in Egypt (TIME, Dec. 1 et seq.) by the British member.

Austen Chamberlain, British Foreign Secretary, scurried from London. At Paris, he found time to put in a sound half-day's work. At Rome, he was enthusiastically received, became a cynosure.
