More valuable in the • long run than the fireworks
which May or may not go off at meetingS of the League Council, more valuable, certainly, than the set-piece of the Aisenibly, is the unobtrusive work of the various technical and economic committees at Geneva: During the past week the 'League Opium Committee has been in session, with an American delegate attending in an unofficial capacity. The Economic Committee has just concluded the second of its plenary meetings in three Months. It has arranged for an inquiry into the crisis in' the world's sugar industry, and also for an inter- national consultation of coal experts chosen from working miners. No award was surely ever better deserved than the Howland Prize which Yale University bestowed last Saturday on Sir Arthur Salter, Director of the EConomic and Finance Section of the League Secretariat.
