was decided that all the members be

The permanent cemniissin, it Is fore

Tlie committee en the admission of
new members Anally agreed today that
it is impossible te admit new the new
states carved out of old Russian terri
tory. The theory of the committee is
that these states will eventually form
part of n new Ilussian confederation,
cntlrvly changing their present status.
I'lii' committee will recommend, how
ever, that while these states are net ad
mitted te full membership, their dele
gates shall be allowed te sit in the as

out the right te vote.
Among the Important (pie-tlnns which
will come before the assembly this week
is the question of ndniittlng Austria
nnd Hulgnria te the League of Na
tions. Despite tin strong imposition of
Serbia. Ittunanla and (i recce te the
granting of membership te Hulgnria
at this time, a Inrge maierlty of tlie
delegates seem in favor of taking that
step. There is virtually no opposition
