THE conference is essentially q wal

Of the activities OF the various ma

more comprehensive understanding Of
their respective needs in order that
the Joint efforts of the co-be1ligerents
may attain the highest war efficiency.
Points Suggested for Debate.
"while a definite program has no,
been adopted, 1t may be assumed thai
the subjects to be discussed will EN-
brace not only those pertaining to mill
tary and naval operations. but also the
financial commercial, economic ano
other phases of the present situation
which are Of vital Importance to the
successful prosecution of the war.
There will undoubtedly be an effor,
to avoid any conflict Of interest among
the participants. and there is every rea,
son to anticipate that the result VIII
be fuller cooperation and, consequent
ly, a much higher efficiency and more
vigorous prosecution Of the war.

It has been no easy problem to deter

whole situation and a free discussion
