Politis of Greece, remarked that it was for the Council to say whether it was competent to deal with the Greek affair and not for one of the parties to the dispute to declare the League's incompetency. "It such a point of view was ad- mitted," asserted the Greek spokes- man, "it would mean the definite ruin of the pact of the League and of the international organism which the pact has created, because it would always be possible to pretend for one reason or another that the pact did not apply to the nations which were parties to the dispute, and also that a nation interpreted the pact differently and that conse- quently the league's organism would not operate. "This would mean that the Lea- Eue was not to operate for .the main- tenance of peace," added M. Politis, "but merely a kind of official body etiective only when two parties had reached an accord."

The importance of the dMscovery may be realized, the bureau said, when it is known that the United States - possesses 1,051,290,009,060 tons of easily mined lignite, of which 964,000,000,000 tons are located in North and South Dakota and Mon- tara. These states annualiy impogt large tonnage of anthracite and soft coal. The bureau's experiments were carried out in co-operation with of- ficlals of the Canadian government. An oven was perfected which was sald to turn. the lignite into a fuel of practically the same thermal efficiency. as the Dest Pennsylvania 'I hard coal. 7 The Canadian authorities, after seeing the oven in operation, decid- ed to censtruct a similar unit and to give it a thorough test.
