Paris. Nov. 13.-(By the A. P.)-
The proposition for a committee Oh
inquiry which President Barthou OF

pected to make before that body this
afternoon was explained at the
French foreign Office as simple
confirmation of the French point OF
view along this line as expressed
all through the negotiations for the
committee of experts on which 1t was
sought to have the United States
represented.
The French proposal for an expert
committee of inquiry is not regard
ed in sofficial circles as a new thing
but simply as French interpreted
ton of the manner in which an en-
pert manner may be set up without
departing from the provisions Of the
treaty of Versailles.
M. Poincare is understood to have
indicated to M. Barthou what he con-
siders such a committee could use
fully do and ask him to present
those suggestions to the Preparations

bulk goods.
He did not, however have anything
to do with liquids, for in those days
the traffic in wet goods was suffi-

maintenance OF separate officials to

were separate collectors through
