Three Ordinary Members of 

 Executive Committee "^ 



118 



Mr. Kirotar (Esthonian Legation) stated, with reference to 

 Clause 3, that in his opinion the contributions to be made by 

 Governments should be fixed in accordance with the financial 

 position of the various countries. Sir Lawrence Weaver replied 

 that it was well -recognised by the Executive Committee that the 

 basis for fixing the amount of the contributions would be the 

 capacity of a country to pay. 



Sir Lawrence Weaver also referred to the title of the Associa- 

 tion which he said should appear at the head of the Constitution 

 in French and German as well as in English. It was desirable 

 that the translation should be as literal as possible. He suggested, 

 and the Congress agreed, that this matter should be left to the 

 Executive Committee to settle. 



Sir Lawrence Weaver then proposed " that the following 

 Executive Committee and ofl&cers be, and they are hereby 

 elected " : — 



President Mr. K. Dorph-Petersen. 



Vice President - - Dr. W. J. Franck. 



^Mr. A. Eastham. 

 Prof. M. T. Munn. 

 Mr. W . V. Petery (Argen- 

 tina). 



m o v i-j. i. HT v X I Prof . Mohammed Showky 



Two Substitute Members of J Bakir EfEendi. 

 Committee - ^Mr. Edgar Brown. 



Not members of Executive Committee : — 



„ A j-x fProfessor Bussard. 



Honorary Auditors - - -<|^Professor Voigt. 



Substitute Honorary Auditor - Mr. E. Kitunen. 

 The above were unanimously elected en bloc. 



Mr. Dorph-Petersen thanked the Congress for electing him 

 President, and asked that all those present would help him 

 to carry out the work. He expressed deep regret that Dr. 

 Volkart, who had assisted him so much during the past three 

 years, was unable, because of his official duties, to continue the 

 work. He therefore hesitated to assume the task as he had 

 neither the necessary ability nor sufficient time. He hoped to 

 obtain support especially from the Executive , Committee and 

 more particularly from the Vice-President. 



Mr. Dorph-Petersen then proposed that Dr. Volkart and 

 Sir' Lawrence Weaver, whose organising ability was mainly 

 responsible for the presentation of a Constitution which had 

 been so readily accepted by the Congress, should be elected as the 

 first two Honorary Members of the Association in accordance with 

 Clause 4 of the Constitution. 



. This proposal having been approved with acclamation, 

 Dr. Volkart and Sir Lawrence Weaver thanked the Congress. 



Mr. Dorph-Petersen then submitted a list of the special 

 Committees proposed to be appointed, and their personnel, for 

 the approval of the Congress.
