put into practice in the economic do
main their solidarity Of views and in

conference, which is to be held short
ly at Paris, to propose for them ap-
propriate measures for the realization
of this solidarity.
"The conference has decided, first,
to continue the organization already
begun at London, of an international

to apportion equitably between the al
