4. The Secretary-General of the League of Nations shall communicate to all the Members of the League of Nations and to the non-member State the declarations and notifications received in virtue of the present article, together with the dates of the receipt thereof.
Article XVII (old Article XXI).
The present Convention shall be registered by the Secretary-General of the League of Nations as soon as it comes into force.
M. Pella, reporter for the Second Commission, laying his report and the plan before the Assembly, asked the Assembly to approve the following resolution :
The Assembly,
Notes with satisfaction the result of the work accomplished by the Special Committee which it had appointed to examine the draft Convention for facilitating the international circulation of films of an educational character ;
" Is of opinion that the changes proposed by the Special Committee are calculated to facilitate the accession of several of the States to this Convention, which, in its broad outline has received the approval of numerous delegations, but considers that these changes call for a fresh examination on the part of the Governments concerned ;
' And, having regard to the importance that attaches to a speedy settlement of the question, requests the Council to convene a meeting of Government delegates at whatever time it considers most suitable, but if possible at the time of the forthcoming extraordinary session of the Assembly, provided always that all the Governments have been able to examine the new draft Convention. At this meeting, the delegates, being in possession of full powers, Would be called upon to decide whether the proposed Convention, with or without amendment, is to be opened for signature by any Member of the League or any State non-member. In the meantime, the Governments concerned might send their observations to the Secretary-General.
The approval of this resolution by the Assembly at the October meeting constitutes the best possible hope for the future. As has been said, the Assembly now agrees to consider as an urgent matter, to be decided under the auspices of the League of Nations, the solution of a problem which is urgently desired by all those who see in what may worthily be called educational films not only a means of knowledge and spiritual elevation but also a messenger of peace for all men of good will.
