Indochina is currently an autonomous member of the French Union, so their status is largely equivalent to Canada's. They have some control over foreign policy, but French parliament can veto their decisions.

Persia did not realize Canadian foreign policy could be over-riden by the British parliament.

Are there other precedents in which non-sovereign members have joined the League?

Muttered cheapshots from the French delegation will not be helpful in swaying Persia to the Indochinese cause.

Hey, it's not your fault India treated Persia like their harem slave... you fixed the problem, as I see it.
In any case, that's why it was quietly muttered as opposed to spoken out loud where someone might hear it.

The United States Ambassador to the League of Nations Mr. Edward Stettinius:
Friends, while the United States applauds the movements made by the French Republic to move many of its colonial possessions towards self-government and eventually sovereignty, it does have some concerns over the inclusion of Indochina as a full member. The primary concern of the United States is the fact that Indochina is not yet a fully sovereign nation, primarily because so far as the United States is aware it does not have control over its foreign policy, which is one of the prerequisites in the view of the United States of nationhood.
However, the United States would consent to some form of observer status whereby the Indochinese delegation would be allowed all the powers of a full member, but would not be allowed to vote on resolutions in the General Assembly.

I went back in and looked more carefully at how I've got the Indochinese government set up at present; I thought I'd stated in an earlier post that Indochina has control of their foreign policy, but it seems to have been confusingly stated and missed. Indochina presently has the authority to conduct their own foreign policy within the scope of the French Union (meaning they can negotiate treaties that don't conflict with the French Union's policy), but they have not made a cabinet-level position for it and haven't extended any embassies. When I said the French Parliament can veto their decisions, I was incorrect: under the present system, if the French dislike the way the Indochinese conduct their foreign policy, then the French president would instruct the High Commissioner to advise the Indochinese Parliament and Governor General of their unhappiness; if the situation got extreme, then the High Commissioner could order another party leader to form a new government. Like I said, I set up Indochina's status to resemble the relationship between the UK and the Commonwealth Dominions.
