ALLIES & DISARMAMENT
SUPREME COUNCIL DECISIONS "PROOF OF GOOD WILL" GIVEN. (VlttTIS PRESS AIBOCIATIOM.—COHRMHT.) . (REUHR'6 TSUQRAM.)
PARIS, 14th August. The concluding session of the Supreme Council discussed the disarmament of Germany. Marshal Foch submitted a resolution which was unaimously adopted by the Inter-Allied Military Commission, proposing a continuation of the Commission's control. After lengthy discussion a resolution was adopted for the maintaining of the Commission, but contemplating a gradually progressive withdrawal. Th© Council decided in favour of'raising the economic sanctions, conditional on Germany meeting all obligations by 31st August. The military sanctions will be maintained. Lord Curzon declared that Britain did not contemplate that the sanctions would remain in force three months after the acceptance of the ultimatum. He suggested that Germany had given proof of good-will, and a term should be fixed for the occupation, with progressive withdrawal of troops, . M. Briand justified the continued occupation on the ground that Germany had not yet-displayed a,tendency to fulfil the .reparations without an Allied demonstration of force. France was anxious to abandon the occupation as- soon as possible. \ %
