The World Economic Conference in session at Geneva (TIME, May 16) under the auspices of the League of Nations, adjourned last week from its large public sittings into three main commissions which began respectively to study commerce, industry and agriculture.
Chief Delegate Henry M. Robinson of the U. S. delegation was appointed chairman of the Industry Commission. On the Commerce Commission sat U. S. delegates Norman Davis and Dr. Julius Klein. Finally U. S. delegate Alonzo Taylor took his seat with the Agriculture Commission.
Soon all delegates were busy plowing through 500,000 wards of research material provided by the League Secretariat. No delegate has any power to act for his Government. All are met for full and frank discussion.
