Extract

The title is not only misleading but even obscures one of the most significant features of the report of the Commission of Enquiry of the League of Nations which was authorized by the Council on December 10, 1931, and the composition of which was approved on January 14 following. From the popular title which has been given to the report, it might be inferred that it is the work of one man, an Englishman, whereas it is the unanimous report and recommendation of five men of five nationalities—Italian, French, English, American, and German. That five men of such diverse associations could have reached an agreement upon a report so incisive and upon recommendation so comprehensive and concise is a very remarkable characteristic of the document.
