The other report was from the economic 'commission of which Albert Cleinentel of France is chairman and Bernard il. Baruch, Vance McCormick and Dr. A. A. Davis are the American members. The financial commission's report was brief, giving the main headings of the vast financial reorganisation that is required. It does not embrace reparations and indemnities for the war, as those subjects are being considered separately. Most of the headings were presented without recommendations which ure left to the council and the plenary conference. One of the main headings concerns war debts and debts made itefore the war in enemy countries, and whether I hey are to be paid or repudiated and, if paid, the manner and priority of payments. Another heading deals with state property in territory taken over, such us state mines and state rullwnys.
