A third committee will ascertain why certain countries consuming raw materials are unable to use the existing supplies.
Dr. Walter Stucki, Swiss chairman
summing up, said the Committee nad agreed that all questions of distribution and, transfer of co- lonial territories were outside its competence. It had only to deal with the distributon of raw mat- erials. It also appeared, he said. that they had agreed that statistics be prepared, not only on raw mat- erials, but on foodstuffs for men and animals. The work should not be limited to colonial products but should include raw materials from all sources.— Reuter:
