UNANIMOUS CONSENT GAINED ON ONLY TWO MEASURES

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Twelve Harvard delegates joined in a majority decision recommending the adoption of the Litvin off proposal for joint action against aggressor nations after the heated debate of the two-day Model League of Nations session at Massachusetts State College Friday and Saturday.

The unanimous consent required for official League action by the Geneva Covenant was only obtained on two measures: intellectual cooperation, and bilateral treaties for the protection of minorities. Majority decisions included recommendations in favor of the Palestine partition and aid for Spain and China.

In the role of delegates from the Netherlands and Australia, the Harvard representatives joined 400 students in the twelfth annual session of the mock assembly. Basil R. Pollitt '40 was elected a member of the Continuations Committee.

Heading the Harvard contingent was Louis K. Benjamin '39.
