DO C. 334 S T A T E M E N T S AT I C I C 543 tially and without any indication as regards the results to be reached or the methods to be followed. If this procedure were followed, M. Barany would be quite satisfied. The Ch a ir ma n thought the Committee could give satisfaction to M. Barany, without changing its own point of view, by amending the second paragraph to read as follows : “The Sub-Committee instructs the International Institute for Intellectual Co-operation to examine the possibilities of putting the scheme into practice and of discovering also what result could be achieved by a co-ordination of the national organisations already existing". M. Bo r e l suggested the following wording: “Without neglecting to get into touch with national organisations already in existence". M. de Re y n o l d thought that it was for the Committee itself and not for any particular person to investigate the method whereby the scheme could be put into practice. M. de Ko w a l s k i proposed that the first paragraph should be amended to read as follows : “The Sub-Committee . . . considers it extremely desirable on principle . . .” M. De s t r Ée replied that the Sub-Committee, after having listened to the statement of M. Barany, had decided in favour of the creation of an international school of higher political studies. What it had approved, however, was the idea of such a school and not the scheme proposed by M. Barany or any of its details. M. Destrée would not press his previous proposal and supported the formula suggested by the Chairman. M. E in s t e in did not quite understand whether the Committee thought it desirable and possible to create such a school. He desired explanations, moreover, of the meaning of the word “co-ordination" in the second paragraph of the draft resolution. — 32 — The Se c r e t a r y explained that the great universities of the world, because of the courses given there and because of the number of foreign students attending them, had already acquired, to a certain degree, an international character. The Institute would investigate the possibility of accentuating this character by co-ordinating the various efforts, in order that the students might complete a certain part of their studies in Paris, for example, another part in Berlin, and another in London, etc., and that the maximum profit could be obtained from the various courses. M. E in s t e in feared that public opinion would consider this system to be in contradiction to the scheme of M. Barany. The Ch a ir ma n recalled that the Committee had already considered in the previous year this kind of co-ordination, which was the origin of the suggestion contained in the resolution. The Minutes would contain the necessary explanations. M. Bo r e l pointed out that, from the manner in which the first paragraph was worded, it appeared that the approval of the Committee had been given to the scheme of M. Barany. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
