able trouble. mainly because Of the
stand taken by the French, who want
their own production In the devastat-
ed region restored first.
The supreme council decided that
the questions Of the western German.
Turkish and Adriatic boundaries
should not be passed upon by the
boundaries commission, but deter
mined by the council itself, because Of
their vast Importance and difficulties.
These include the frontier disputes
between Italy and Jugo-Sloyakia.

ports and railways recommended that

desired outlet to the Baltic sea, and

have their own way If the allies did
not consent to feed Germany. Whether
