Germany and the League · the council votes

As printed: COUNCIL APPROVES GERMAN ADMISSION AND 3 NEW SEATS

ContextGermany, kept out of the League of Nations since its founding, was promised a permanent council seat at Locarno last year, but the plan stalled in March when Spain, Poland and Brazil demanded permanent seats of their own. The council today adopted a reorganization report creating three new non-permanent seats and reserving a permanent one for Germany as soon as the assembly elects her to membership.
