It is authoritatively stated, and there seems every reason to believe. that the German Government intends loyally to accept the decision of the Supreme Council to establish an Inter-Allied organisation with a view to pre- venting unfair discrimination regarding import and export licences, thus meeting the Allies' demand. At present it is undecided whether the organisa. 17 tion shall merely watch the issue of licences and report any unfair dis- crimination to the Alles or whether it shall be fully empowered to veto licences. British circles favour the former course. It is hoped that the
uestion will shortly be settled and the economic sanctions removed.

At the close of the recent war, Sir Douglas Haig conferred upon the sport a" citation," declaring it to be the most efficient training for army officers yet devised, During and since the war, the game has been encouraged among American army cfficers, says the China Press.
