Financial Problems Also h. cluded in Conference
 Program.
THREE COUNCILS
 TO HANDLE THEA..
Work of Supreme Economic Council of Greatest I'm
 mediate Importance.

Paris, Feb. 15-With the sub ject of the League of Nations now out of the way for some time to come, the biggest pro- blem before the Peace Confer ence at present is believed to be the re-adjustment of the worlds financial and economic relations, which have been torn
 to pieces by more than four years of war.
 Three different organizations have been created to deal with these subjects. The work of the Supreme Economic Council
 is of the greatest immediate importance.
 It has been charged temporarily, during the armistice period. to handle only such pressing questions as the disposition to be made of shipping; the abatement of the blockade which has been holding back not only the enemy's industry but that of neu- trals; the distribution of raw ma terials and finally, those financial questions that require instant atten- ton.
 This council includes in its mem bership some of the ablest financial and business minds of America and Europe
 Of more permanent value is ex- pected to be the work of the Econo- mic Drafting Commission and the Financial Drafting Commission. The Economic Drafting Commission has und ertaken to make practical ap- plication of the third of President Wilson's Fourteen Points, namely that declaring for the removal as far as possible of all economic barriers and i the establishment of an equality of 1 trade conditions among all of the na- tions consenting to the peace and as sociating themselves for its mainten- ance.
 l The problem involves the right of nations to discriminate between friends and foes in their trade rela- lions and the propriety of continuing 1 the many special trade treaties with
 their differential tariffs. which in the past so often have jeopardized the peaceful relations of states. The Financial Drafting Commission will have to meet the insistent de- Continued on Page Two)

TO FIGHT FIXED DEMOBILIzATION Declaration of Count Rant zau, German Foreign
 Secretary.

Basic, Switzerlandd, Feb. 15,--Count von Brockerdorff-Rantz the Ger man foreign secretary, in discussing Germany's foreign policy in the new National Assembly at weimar yester- day, declared he had resisted and would continue to resist Allied at tempts to make Germany demobilize all her military forces.
 The task of the German nation as
 regarding foreign affairs might be summed up under two heads said the foreign secretary, of which the first was the ending of the state of war and the second the establishment of normal relations with other peoples. Unfortunately" he continued, "Germany's voluntary disarmament has not softened our enemies, who recently attempted to settle on the basis of disarmament questions un- dpubtedly. appertaining to the Peace Conference. I have repulsed and will continue to repulse these attempts looking to the dissolution of all our -old military forces and the substitu- ton of new republican troops for our old peace army, which could be used in the East.
 Germany has shouldered the con sequences of defeat and is determined to observe the conditions agreed upon with her adversaries. These condi- lions inoDIv the comnlete ren1Inciat lion of the political aims of the old Ger many. We are ready to accept re- strictions upon. our sovereignty, the compulsory submission of our differ ence with other states to an interna- tional court of arbitration, and the re- nunciation of our armament, if our
 old adversaries and future neighbors
 submit to the same restrictions"
