LEAGUE URGES ALL TO WORK t Supreme Council Gives Rules for . Solving the World's Problems. I PROFITEERS ARE CONDEMNED । Sees Great Need of Toil, Economy and Big Loans—Aid for Germany Is Proposed—Production Must Be Pushed. London. March 12.—The supreme council htts issued u memorandum on work] economic conditions. Its conclusions art* as follows; L It is ot paramount importance I that peace conditions should be fully i and completely restored a t the earliest I possible moment everywhere. Io achieve this it is desirable (first) that peace and normal economic relations be re-established as quickly as possible in eastern Europe; (second) that all armies be reduced to a peace looting, that armaments be limited to the lowest possible figure compatible j willi national security and that the j League of Nations be invited to eon- | sider proposals to this end; (third) | ihat states created or enlarged imine- i <liatel\ re-establish full and friendly 1 co-operation and arrangement for tin- ' lestricted interchange of comniodi- i ties. Not only the government of each country, but all producers, should im- j mediately execute all measures con- I tributing to full resumpt ion of peaceful industry, to encouragement of better output by workers everywhere, to improvement of machinery and trans- i j pollution and removal of such disturb- | I ing factors as profiteering. । 3. Each government should immedi- I I ately consider means tor urging upon ; | all nationals suppression of extravaj gance and reduction of expenditures, i so as to bridge the gap between de- I I m.md and supply ot essential commodi--1 Hi's. 4. Early steps should be taken to ■ deflate credit and currency first, by , the reduction <>f recurrent government expenditure within revenue limits; ■ । second, by the imposition of such adi ditional taxation as is necessary; i | third, by the funding of short term ob- i ■ ligations by loans subscribed out of the people’s satings; fourth, by then immediate limitation am! gradual curtailment of note circulation. 5. Raw materials being essential to • industry, countries which are. under I present exchange conditions unable to purchase in the world s markets should be able to obtain commercial credits. I 6. The conference powers jjecognize ‘ the necessity for com inn % < l ’.lHed co- | operation and for removing obstacles ■ to easy interchange of essential coni- I UK l <jes.

This work of restoration cannot be postponed until the German reparaI tion has been received. 8. The powers have considered arj tide 235 and cognate articles of the i treaty and passages in the letter ad- । dressed June IG, 11H9. by the suI preme council to the peace delegates, | which contemplate that Germany shall I make proposals for fixing the total of her reparation payments and that facilities may be given her to obtain necessary foodstuffs and raw materi- . als in advance of the payments being , mqde byway of reparation. Concerning Germany, the memoran- ' dmn says : “She should be enabled to obtain 1 essential foodstuffs ami raw materials, . and if necessary in the opinion of the ' reparations committee, should be allowed to raise abroad a loan to meet : her immediate needs of such amount I and with such priority as ’he repara- I lions committee may deem essential. “In the case of Austria the [towers ’ recognize that even more active assistance may be required.
