Geneva, Mar. 12. "The possession' af colonial terri- tories was definitely ruled out as being responsible for the problem of procuring raw materials. This decision was taken at the closing, session of the Raw Materials Com- mitte. It was decided, simultane- ously, that foodstuffs and fodder were to be considered raw materi- als as much as industrial raw materials.
The Committee adopted a seven- point report which can be sum- marised as follows:
1. Foodstuffs and fodder to be Included in the scope of the in- quiry;
2. All raw materials, whether colonial or metropetan, must be taken into consideration:
3. Restriction of supply must be. examined;
