not pay much cash until it has been
accumulated by the sale Of German
products abroad, she. can deliver
materials to the allies, and France
hopes to get in that way large part
Of the. 900, 100000 francs she is en-
titled to this year. The Loucheur-

TdE council Of the League Of
1 Nations is in session in London
mainly for the purpose of settling all
matters relating to the mandates. Its
task was made comparatively easy by
