M. 82. 1925, 1. ufldthe Members of e eague.] Extract from the Official Journal May 1925. LEAGUE OF NATIONS Geneva, March 31st, 1925. SAAR BASIN GENERAL r e p o r t b y t h e s e c r e t a r y - g e n e r a l f o r t h e p e r io d OCTOBER 1924 - MARCH 1925 \ The Secretary-General has the honour to forward, for the information of the Council and the Members of the League, a general report for the period October 1st, 1924 - March 31st, 1925, on questions concerning the Saar Basin. This report should be considered mainly as a reference document. I. Qu e st io n s c o n s i d e r e d b y t h e C o u n c i l a t i t s T h i r t y - s e c o n d ( D e c e m b e r 1924) a n d T h i r t y - t h i r d (M a r c h 1925) S e s s i o n s . M. Salandra, representative of Italy, acted as Rapporteur during the thirty-second, andM. Scialoja, representative of Italy, during the thirty-third Session. Their reports and the discussions and decisions of the Council will be found in the Official Journal of the League containing the Minutes of these Sessions. 1. Public Education in the Saar1. Certain documents submitted by the German Government (document C. 750. M. 259. 1924. I, or Annex 718c? to the Official Journal for 1924) and by the Governing Commission (document C. 749. 1924. I, or Annex 718e), in addition to those already mentioned in the pre­ ceding general report (Official Journal, November 1924, pages 1703-1706), were examined by the Council at its meeting of December 11th, 1924. The Council, after having heard the report by the Italian representative, M. Salandra, approved the following conclusions of his report : “ The Council will no doubt agree with me that the matter before us is essentially a question of interpretation of certain provisions in the Annex to the Treaty of Versailles regarding the Saar Territory. Apart from the legal points of view set forth in the docu­ ments which I have just summarised, the French representative has recently transmitted to me the legal opinion of an English jurist, Mr. Mitchell Innes (document C. 804. 1924. I, or Annex 718/), and the Swedish representative a memorandum based on the opinion of a Swedish jurist (document C. 788. 1924. I, or Annex 718(7). These two documents are before you, and you will probably be of opinion that the Secretary-General should communicate them to the Governing Commission of the Saar Territory for any action that might be necessary. “ Furthermore, the very detailed reports that the Governing Commission has sent us show that it is aware not only of the legal aspect of the problem of public education m the Saar but also of its political and moral aspects, and in particular of the importance which public opinion in the Territory attached to the problem. These circumstances give to the question of the French schools a wider bearing than would result from a mere comparison between the inconsiderable number of pupils who frequent these schools and those who frequent the ordinary schools of the Territory. Per­ sonally, I rely on the wisdom of the Governing Commission, and I am fully confident that it will find the means of allaying the anxiety w^hich this matter seems to have aroused m certain sections of the Saar population. ” . .The Council decided to forward a copy of this report to the German Government for lts information. * For the preceding report, see document C. 581. M. 198.1924. I, or Official Journal, November 1924, pages 1703-1706. Coum-ifLthe re(Iuest of the German Government, a collection of the documents on the question was circulated to the 11 (document C. 831. 1924. I). S,d' N- 600 (F) +675 (A). 4/25.

I). ln§ 2. Appointment of the Five Members and the Chairman of the Governing Commission (document C. 47. M. 26. 1925. I). On March 13th, 1925, the Council reappointed the five members, as well as the Chairman of the Commission for a further period of one year from April 1st, 1925 (document C. 187 1925. I).

I) suggesting that in electing the Chairman of the Commission, the Council should bear in mind the. advantages in having the post of Chairman held by all the members of the Commission in turn is examined in the report of the Italian representative to the Council. 3. French Troops and Local Gendarmerie1. On March 14th, 1925, the Council adopted the following resolution : “ The Council of the League of Nations : “ After having heard the Italian representative’s report (document C. 192. 1925.1), the observations of the representative of Great Britain, and the explanations of the Chairman of the Governing Commission : “ (1) Approves the Governing Commission’s proposal to increase the local gendarmerie by 250 men during the financial year 1925-1926 (document C. 84. M, 42. 1925. I); “ (2) Requests the Governing Commission to submit to it for consideration a report on the manner in which it would be possible, in the absence of troops, to carry into effect sub-paragraph 3 of paragraph 30 of the Saar Annex to the Treaty of Versailles, which lays down that it will be the duty of the Governing Commission to provide in all cases for the protection of persons and property in the S aar Basin. In preparing its report, the Governing Commission should take into account the possibility of obtaining the assistance of troops stationed outside the Saar Territory ; “ (3) Requests the Secretary-General to communicate a copy of this resolution to the German Government, in reply to its note of February 19tli, 1925 (document C. 92. M. 46. 1925. I). ” II. O t h e r Q u e s t i o n s . 1. Periodical Reports from the Governing Commission.

    U<istributed to the Council and C. 767. M. 269. 1924. II. 1 the Members of the League.] LEAGUE OF NATIONS Geneva, December 23rd, 1924. GREEK REFUGEES Fourth Quarterly Report on the Operations of the Refugee Settlement Commission. Athens, November 25th, 1924. The preceding report of the Refugee Settlement Commission as regards financial work covered the period from January 1st to August 15th ; as regards the Agricultural Settlement, from January 1st to July 31st, and as regards the Urban Settlement, from January 1st to August 31st. H The present report deals with all the work up to October 31st. In the first place, it is gratifying to observe that the exchange of populations has nearly come to an end. At most, there can only be some few thousand more exchangeable Greeks to arrive from Asia Minor. It will be a great relief when the exchange is completed because in Greece, which is overcrowded with refugees, any new arrival is infinitely more difficult to settle and establish in a productive occupation than those who came in the first wave of j*iigration. There are no statistics to show the numbers of the refugees, and perhaps no exact record can ever be compiled, because, in addition to those who passed through the official exchange organisations, there were many others who came over of their own accord. Some of these, especially the earliest to arrive, have been so well absorbed into the population of Old Greece that they can no longer be regarded as refugees. We now have yet another category of “ independent ” refugees : those who are considered as “ established ” but who, nevertheless, are leaving Constantinople for pecuniary or other reasons.

  • A Brief History of Michie Stadium at West Point
    A Brief History of Michie Stadium at West Point Compiled with the assistance of the USMA Archives West Point’s football stadium was built in 1924 in an open area just to the west of Lusk Reservoir that is alternately described in the literature as a “natural amphitheater”, “a meadow” and a “frog pond”. A 1925 USMA pamphlet entitled, The West Point Stadium, talks about the site being “opened up, drained and filled in”. Previously football had been played on the plain with temporary stands regularly constructed and removed. In 1922, Superintendent Fred Sladen directed the Athletic Board to fix upon a location for a permanent facility. Although several sites were considered, the site at Lusk was eventually chosen due to its central location and the promise of better traffic regulation. Concerns about an influx of traffic hampering events on the drill and parade grounds are mentioned in several 1920s editions of the Annual Report of the Superintendent.

In April 1923, the Engineer Officer submitted plans for grading the field and construction of wooden bleachers (“like those at Yankee Stadium”) at an estimated cost of $125,000. Expected to take less than a year to complete, work on the project was slow to develop and complicated by proposals to diversify the facility to accommodate other sports.
