For the present, no good purpose can be served by publication of 

 the arguments for and against suspension. 



In view of the importance of the cases and the great diversity of 

 opinion, the Secretary has considered it essential to obtain a total of 

 18 votes in the case of each one of the names. The realization of this 

 policy has been exceedingly difficult because of the World War and 

 the extensive amount of data under consideration. After about ii 

 years the Secretary is now able to present i8 votes on each case ; but 

 as some of the Commissioners refrained from voting on individual 

 cases it has been necessary to supplement the first i8 voting sheets 

 returned by counting in the vote of a ninteenth Commissioner, Neveu- 

 Lemaire, in seven instances, in order to make up a total of i8 votes. 

 If the parliamentary point be raised that the Secretary's policy in 

 this respect is open to objection, the reply is that if Commissioner 

 Neveu-Lemaire's vote be omitted from consideration the ultimate 

 result is not affected. 



The final results of the vote are as follows : 



1st, no name in the list receives a unanimous vote for suspension; 

 accordingly the Commission is without power to suspend the Rules 

 in these cases.
