Following the precedents of previous international conferences, including those of The Hague of 1899 and 1907, the work of preparing clauses on particular subjects for insertion in the Treaty of Peace with Germany was entrusted by the Conference of Paris to various commissions.
1 The personnel of the Commission is given in this Journal for April, 1919, p. 183. The Hon. Henry White and the writer represented the United States.
2 The quotation is from the English text. The French text reads as follows:
“ . . . personnes, marchandises, navires, bateaux, wagons et services postaux en provenance ou à destination des territoires de l’une quelcunque des Puissances alliées et associées, limitrophes ou non.”
3 There is an understanding among the interested Powers that the Conference will meet within three months of the coming into force of the treaty.
