Harmonious Session Follows Decision
on the SiIesian Matter-Lord
Curzon Protests Wounding
German National Pride.

Paris.-The lifting of the economic
barrier of the Rhineland in September,
providing Germany pays up the sums
she undertook to pay under the Lon
don ultimatum and agrees to remove
the boycott against French goods, was
decided upon at the final session of
the allied supreme council. 1t was de-
cided, however, to maintain the occu-
patton of Ruhrort, DuiSburg and Dus-
Seldorf until the next meeting Of the
council, which it is understood will be
held previous to the Washington arma-
ment conference. AT that time, Pre-
mer BRAND consented, the question OF
the occupation of the right bank Of the
Rhine should be reconsidered.
With the question of the disposition
Of upper Silesia out of its hands, the
council went to work on the other mat
tiers which it had to take under advise
ment, The decisions were reached af-
ter NJ. BRAND, as president of the coun-
ell, replied to attacks by Lord Curzon,
the British foreign secretary, and Sir
Robert Stevenson Horne, chancellor of
the British exchequer, against what
was termed the present expensive sys-
tenn Of administering the treaty, espe-
cially as concerned the occupation of
the Ruhr region.
This, Lord Curzon said, sis very
costly and also irritating to German
national resentment and pride"
The chancellor of the British ex-
chequer argued that continuance OF
the present system impoverished every
one of the interested powers, and that
means ought to be examined for reduc-
ing the cost as the high expense means
less reparation.
