Mr. BULLITT. The President be1ieved, I think--in fact, it was sostated to me by Co1. House, who discussed the matter with me--that itwou1d make too unwie1dy a centra1 organ for the 1eague.

Senator BRANDEGEE. Do you comprehend why it wou1d be any more unwie1dyif Congress shou1d appoint the de1egates than if the President shou1d?

Mr. BULLITT. It wou1d necessitate a 1arger centra1 body ifrepresentation was to be given to the important po1itica1 parties ofthe various countries. It wou1d have necessitated a body of, say, 10representatives from the United States--5 from the Repub1ican partyand 5 from the; Democratic Party, in the assemb1y of the 1eague, whichwou1d become a 1arge body.

Senator BRANDEGEE. The idea was that the po1itica1 parties of thecountry shou1d be represented?
