— 15 — COTJNÖIL — SEPTEMBER 1922 



Sweden: — would much like to see G-ermany readmitted to the Council, where it has previously 

 done very valuable work, and is disposed to support a proposal to this effect. In case, however, 

 that such proposal should meet decided opposition from one or from some of the other Powers, 

 it may be taken under re-consideration what attitude properly ought to be taken. 



Prof. D'Arcy Thompson inquired whether Germany would have to apply 

 for readmission, to which the President answered that that was so and that the 

 Council had nothing to discuss under this head, before an application was received 

 from Germany and had been considered by the Governments of the participating 

 countries. 



Point 9 of the Agenda, 14th September (Reports and proposals of the 

 Sections and Committees). 



The President asked the chairman of the various committees to submit the 

 reports of the meetings of the committees to the Bureau as soon as possible after 

 they had been finished, in order that they might be considered by the Bureau and 

 multiplied for distribution. 



The meeting was then adjourned. 



Second Sitting: Monday, September 18th, 1922, at 3 p. m. 



The President, Mr. Maurice, in the Chair. 

 Present: the members, experts, etc. (vide List p. 5 to 7). 



The President, Mr. Maurice, opened the meeting by stating that in accord- 

 ance with the decision of the first sitting of the Council the following telegram 

 had been sent to the King:

 hague demandent la permission de témoigner à Votre Majesté leurs sentiments les phxs
