Before Cen March's announcement,
secretary Baker discussed with cor
respondents the return Of American
troops from France. Their homeward

most entirely on the Limitation of
transportation facilities both at sea
and in France.
There are no regiments or other
units of line troops in Great Britain.
The first movement of the larger
units. such as brigades and divisions,
viii come from French ports, il is as
sumed. as the British cross channel
service undoubtedly is completely oc-I
eupied with the transportation OF re-
turning British forces.

4 general principle to govern the pay
ment to be made to Great Britain for
services rendered by her transport
fleet or cargo craft in Transporting
or supplying American forces had
been reached He said that in con-
ference with lord Reading, the Brit
ish ambassador. it had been agreed
that payment to be made by either
government to the other for such SER
vice would be made on the basis that
no profit was to accrue TO either
Great Britain or the United States.
