3 The Secretary General’s Report to his colleagues was under date of Oct. 26, 1950.

4 Yet the following statement from the Secretary General in his Report of Oct. 26, 1950, should be noted: “ It was impossible, chiefly because of time, to discuss generally as one would have wished, other reports, for example that of our eminent colleague M.de La Pradelle on The International Effects of Nationalization. But the Bureau didnot show itself indifferent towards the desires of many of the rapporteurs and of membersof Commissions to have their reports discussed. It convoked two enlarged commissions,that is to say, permitting allthe confrères, even those who were not members of theCommission in question, to take part in this work. And so the Commissions of Mr.Lauterpacht on The Interpretation of Treaties and of Mr. Eousseau on The Determinationof Affairs Essentially Eelevant to theNational Competence of States,each had anevening meeting, and the rapporteurs noted some very interesting suggestions on thepart of the participants. Other Commissions, such as that of Mr. MakarovonTheChange of Territories and their Effects on Particular Laws, and those of Messrs.Batiffol and Valladāo on The Consequences of the Difference of Nationality of Spouseson the Effects of Marriage and the Conditions of Divorce had meetings convoked by therapporteurs, but participation was confined to the membership of the Commission And so the Session at Bath not only permitted the adoption of resolutions on 3 reports, but it also furnished the occasions on which there were very fruitful exchanges of ideas on other questions.”
