act on Hungarian Treaty.

81 Inc ASSOCfQt6Q fTeSS,
PARIS, Jan. 13-Serious considera-
ton was given by the supreme coun-
Gil this morning to a plan for the APP
pointment of a committee of am
bassadors to complete details for the
presentation and signing of the Hun
earian peace treaty and to carryy
through the other unfinished business
of the peace conference. The decis-
ion was left to the heads of the gov
eminent of the principal powers The
necessity for the return home of the
Italian and British members of the
council was advanced as the reason
why another organization should be
created. 1t Is thought that the pre-
miers now taking part in the confer
ence here-Clemenceau, Lloyd George
and Nitti.-will approve of the idea of
creating the committee of ambassa-
doris, as many questions likely to come
up In future IN c~ouatction with me
execution or the various peace treaty,
will be diplomatic questions as we'll
as a problems.
Whether Hugh C. Wallace. tho
American ambassador would be a
member of the proposed committee
has not been determined. The coun-
Gil today made a slight modification
in the draft of the Hungarian treaty
dealing with the furnishing of coal
by Hungary to Poland and Czecho-
Slovakia. The document is now con-
sidered as finally shaped
1t already is in the printers hands,
and probably viii be ready for deliv-
cry before the end of the week. The
council decided that publication of all
acts of the peace conference be made
in French by the French government
and in English by the British. The
subject of the demand by Turkey for
q decision regarding the prohibition
of business relations between her and
Central Powers was taken up, and 1t
was decided that German goods might
be sent to Turkey, but only through
third party.
This probably was the last meeting
of the supreme council as at present
organized. 1t is not likely to meet
again unless the premiers' delay action
upon the proposed ambassadorial
committee.
In the supreme council today Hugh
G. Wallace raised the question wheth-
er the council intended to maintain
the percentages previously adopted
for distribution among the allies and
associated powers of the warship ton
mage to be given up by Germany.
Receiving an answer in the affirm
ative, Ambassador Wallace informed
the council that the United States in
case, waived its claim to any
part of this tonnage.
With the opening on Saturday of
the period during which Germany
must pay her debts to the allies, it is
announced hat the commission on
reparation must fix the amount due
by Germany before May 1, 1921. In
the meantime the commission will see
that Germany carries out her obliga-
tions
Until the amount of r~eparation
payments have beer fixed Germany
will have to deposit twenty billion
marks in gold. or it's equivalent in
material, ships securities and coal as
an acknowledgment Of and security
for this portion of the debt which is
payable Immediately, the German
government viii be forced to hand
over gold bonds representing the full
amount. IN addition a sum of forty
marks in gold bonds immedi-
ately negotiable will be exaoted and
sum of forty billion in gold
bonds which the commission will ne
gotiate only as it shall consider the
financial condition Of Germany war
rants.
