Notes

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, accompanied by the Misses Belle Baruch and Evangeline Johnson, called at the Palais des Nations, home of the League, and was received by Miss Florence Wilson, League Librarian, "a distant relative of the late President."

Herr von Eckardt, who headed the German delegation to the recent Arms Conference (TIME, May 11 et seq.), signed the convention for the control of international commerce in arms.

With shining morning face, who should walk into the Palais des Nations but Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University. Said he, before he left, the U. S. should send a minister to the League, "to observe its work and report its activities to Washington."

The 25th U. S. committee to become affiliated with the League of Nations became affiliated last week.

The committee is to assist the League's International Commission for Intellectual Cooperation. Members, whose headquarters are' to be in Washington: Elihu Root, George E. Hale, Charles H. Hastings, Herbert Putnam, Virginia Gildersleeve, Lorado Taft, James H. Breasted, Charles W. Eliot, Vernon L. Kellogg, Augustus Trowbridge, Charles R. Mann.

At Paris, the French Senate grudgingly ratified a bill to provide funds for the home of the International Commission for Intellectual Cooperation, which has been permanently fixed at Paris.

At Warsaw, Polish capital, where the Ninth Congress of the League of Nations Union met last week, a resolution was adopted which concerns the U. S.:

"Recognizing that at present the United States is unwilling to sign any international obligation of a general character, the Assembly believe the United States would help considerably in the cause of peace if it could at least promise its friendly neutrality toward the countries which would act against a State if the latter started an aggressive war."
