Peking, Jan. 15.

The Peking Chinese League of Nations Society yesterday held a xeéeption at which 100 members of Parliament were present. The Chairman, Mr. Wang Tah-hsieh, presided and Dr. Wellington Koo and Mr. Lin Chan'g-min assisted.

My. Wang made a brief address and was followed by Mr. Lin, who urged the appointment as Directors of the Society of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of tha House of Representatives and also of the Chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee. He also urged that all the members present should be appointed members of the Society.

Mr. Lin suggested that the principles of the League of Nations should be explained in simple language in the textbooks of the middle and primary schools and contended that disbandment of troops and opium suppression must be carried out in accordance with the League's principles.

Dr. Wellington Koo's resume of his work as China's principal delegate on the League was received with applause.

Several members of Parliament expressed their sympathy with the objects of the Society and promised their hearty support.—Reuter.
