on March q and 2S, 1916, affirm the
complete community of views and
solidarity Of the Allies. They con-
firm all the measures taken to real
ize unity of action and unity Of

"They understand by that, at tho
same time, unity Of military action,
assured by the entente concluded be-
tween the general stats; unity Of
economic action, the organization of
which the present conference has
regulated. and unity of diplomatic
action, which is guaranteed by their
unshaken will to continue the strug-
gle TO victory for the common couse.
Plan Commercial War.
"The Allied governments decide to
pat into practice in the economic do
main their solidarity of views and
interests. They charge the economic
conference which is to be held short
ly at Paris TO propose for them
appropriate measures for the reali-
zation of this solidarity.
with view to strengthen, CO.
ordinate and unity the diplomatic ac-
tion to be exercised to prevent the
revictualling Of the enemy. the con-
ference has decided TO establish at
Paris a permanent committee, in
which all the Allies will be repre-
sented.
"The conference has decided, first,

10 proceed in common, and with the
briefest delay, to seek practical
means to apportion equitably be-
tween the Allied nations the charges
for maritime transportation and
check the rise in freight rates"
No Compromise Seen.
Never, perhaps, have deliberations so
important had so little written about
them. Thirty-seven persons, represent
ing nine nations. took part, yet the
proceedings are understood TO have
gone forward without the least con
fusion.
At the conclusion OF the last sitting
Premier BRAND thanked the delegates
for the valuable aid which had made
his task as president an easy one. The
assembly. the Premier said. was to be
congratulated on the facility with
which the different questions submitted
10 IL had been settled. Should fresh
problems arise requiring joint deliber-
elton the Allied governments could not
find a better way of solving them than
by arranging another meeting.

The delegates will leave tomorrow

that they assembled. Premier Asqui'h

one Of those taking part in the con-
ference il quoted in the "Matin az
describing the unique character OF tic
gathering
~ have seen many conferences at
which statesmen and diplomatists took
part" this delegate said. Usually
ono received the impression that each
person was carefully watching for m
opportunity TO turn TO his own secount
,he mistakes and weaknesses of tie
others and 10 obtain the maximum adj
vantage for the power he represented.
But there was nothing Of that kind az
the present conference.
The image OF the enemy We must
reduce was ever before our eyes. The
absolute necessity for union and for
aacrifces echoed IN every word. There
-, indeed. in this conference an un-
forgettable grandeur for those. who
have had the honor 10 share in its
deliberations
