II was learned to-day that working

These iuciuded places which were alleged
to have violated governmental regula-

prices, thereby making fabulous profits.

Issued a proclamation to-day placing the

PARIS, July Spending completion Of
the Austrian treaty. which it is hoped to
hand Chancellor Ronner soon, the allied
and associated governments have replied
to the Austrian note on the League OF
Nations.
The reply Is couched in most concilia-
tory terms-one might almost say In n
friendly tona The Powers assert that
there never has been any intention to
exclude Austria from the earliest posi-
Bile admission TO the League OF Nations,
and It is their hope and conviction that
the league will include all nations which
can be trusted to keep their international
engagements.
The Powers virtually invite Austria
to apply for admission at the earliest
possible moment after the treaty Is rati-
fed, and 1t clearly implies that as soon
as Austria has a stable Government with
the will and power to support the cove
be admitted to membership.
The Council of Five has reached a de-
cision OF the greatest Importance in vot-
ing that lifting the blockade would auto
matically put an end to the censorship.

of German trade with the countries re-
Gently at war with her. The Supreme
Economic Council. which has direct
charge of the censorship arrangements
to which all messages and letters to and

mended this step. The economic relief
afforded will be very great.
1t Is reported In American circles that
the Prisoners OF War Commission. which
is subsidiary of the interim repara-
tion commission of the allied and asso-
clated Governments, has received a pro-
posal from the German Government
that for every two German prisoners
of war returned a civilian worker from
Germany shall take his place.
Nothing Is officially known of this
to the British delegation. but 1t is real
ICED that tne sudden return of many
thousands OF men to Germany. where
there already are many other hundreds
of thousands unemployed. would compli-
cate the situation and make bad matters
worse. Reconstruction OF tho devastated
areas Of France Is progressing slowly
and II such an arrangement could he
made and German civilians assist in re-
building 1t might create a better feel
inE toward the Germans than now exists.
