In execution of a resolution adopted by the Assembly on October 4th, 1930, relating
to the question of the amendment of the Covenant in order to bring it into harmony with the
Pact of Paris, the Secretary-General, by a letter dated November 20th, 1930 (C.L.304.1930.V),
submitted to the Members of the League the report of the Committee of Eleven and that
of the First Committee of the Eleventh Assembly (both of which are reprinted in document
C.623.M.245.1930.V), asking them to be so good as to formulate any observations they might
desire to make thereon before June 1st, 1931, the date fixed by the Assembly for this purpose.

Letter dated February 27th, 1931.
The view of the Commonwealth Government is and always has been that the Covenant
of the League should be brought into harmony with the Treaty for the Renunciation of War.
Accordingly, after very careful consideration the Commonwealth Government decided,
prior to the last Assembly, to accept the amendments proposed by the Committee of Eleven
subject to certain minor modifications. They now consider that the texts submitted by the
Sub-Committee of the First Committee of the Assembly are an improvement on the texts
proposed by the Committee of Eleven, and they therefore propose to support the amendments
in this form, and hope they will be adopted by the next Assembly. It must be understood
that ratification of the amendments by the Commonwealth of Australia will be dependent
upon the entry into force of a general treaty for the reduction and limitation of armaments.
