or without its comments to the chief delegates at least one month before the
Congress, in order that the delegates may be able to examine the resolutions
before the Chief Delegates’ Meeting at the Congress. Questions of great
importance of which notice has not been given as herein stated may be
submitted to the General Assembly if a delay should be of disadvantage to the
