Subject to Revision


PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE representation
of the various nations in the interval
lied conference, although virtually ar
ranged as shown in the unofficial list
that has been published. is still subject
to revision. In order to avoid humilia-
ton to any nation, the representation
of which it may be found advisable to
reduce, the supreme council has re-
Trained from officially making public
the tentative list.
1t is possible that some efforts will
be made by nations not entirely salts
fled with the number of delegates as
signed them in the unofficial list, to
secure some amendment. but it is said
that strong reasons must be adduced to
secure any such change.
lnasmuch as no issues before the con-
ference will be decided by voting, but
only by unanimous action, the large
number of British delegates, resulting
from the decision to allow colonial rep
reservations, has not actually increased
Great Britains strength. At the same
time, it is believed, because of the SINH
larity of views held by the Americans,
Canadians, Australians and New Yea
landers, for instance, their presence
would add moral strength TO the Ameri
can plans.
An explanation of the allowance OF
three delegates to Brazil, while Belgium
and Greece got two and Portugal one
is the fact that Brazil not only gave
most valuable service in the war. in
affording naval protection against Ger
man raiders TO the south Atlantic trade
routes and the east coast of South
America, but that she represents the
South American continent in the ranks
of the belligerents.
