Note 305 — Chapter XXXI · THE UNITED STATES AND THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

This is because not only Great Britain herself but India, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand are members of the League. It was assumed that the six British votes in the Assembly would always be cast together; but, as a matter of fact, the various British dominions insisted upon having separate votes in order that they might vote according to their own particular interests. In most international matters the interests of Canada, Australia, and South Africa are not at all certain to coincide with those of England.
