THE SUPREME COUNCIL.
DISARMAMENT OF GERMANY.’ Received August 15, 10.30 p.m. PARIS, August 14. The concluding session of the Supreme Council discussed disarmament of Germany. Foch submitted a resolution which was unanimously adopted by the inter-Allied military commission, proposing the continuation of the commission’s control. After lengthy discussion a resolution was adopted for maintaining the commission but contemplating gradually progressive withdrawal. The Council resolved in favour of raising economical sanctions, conditional on Germany meeting all obligations by August 31st. The military sanctions will be maintained. Lord Curzon declared that Britain did not contemplate the sanctions to remain in force three months after acceptance of the ultimatum. He suggested that Germany be given proof of goodwill and a term should be fixed for occupation, with progressive withdrawal of troops. Al. Briand justified continued occupation on the ground that Germany had not yet displayed a tendency to fulfil reparations without an Allied demonstration in force. France was anxious to abandon occupation as soon as possible.
