limitation were to be accomplished, it could, in his opinion,

only be effected by a more strict control because imports could

be checked by it. Moreover his scheme had been drawn up on the

gramme for the Second Conference.

§ XVI.

The Committee has arranged for the statistical information

to be published in two volumos, one relating to the First Con-

ference and the other relating to the Second Conference.

mitted to it in accordance with the docision of the Council,

may be communicated to the Governments which have been invited

to the Conferences on the earliest possible date.
