Verbatim record of the telephone conversation between C.J. Hambro and S. Jacklin (South Africa), Office of the League of Nations Secretary General, Treasury: need to adopt a budget otherwise the Member States could assume in absence of budget that the League of Nations does not exist any more, the only way of getting a budget adopted was by a Supervisory Commission meeting, but difficulties to get a quorum.
