ing closed with singing.

(a) The contingent to ‘be provid- ed by each Continental European Power is described rather vaguely as "a small number of specialised units consisting of troops serving for a relatively long term” ‘and equipped with powerful materials which will be forbidden lo nation. al armies. It is understood, though not so stated in the Pact, that Ger- many will have the right to provide the same “powerful materials" for her contingent.

(b) All powerful mobile land ma- terial other than the normal equip- ment of each country is to be "stored in each of tho contracting States under international super- vislon." It follows that Germany, having no such material and no right to manufacture it. would have no such stocks.

This store of material is u. be available for use in resisting an aggressor. or for aiding a State which is attacked.

(c) European Powers’ having fleets will also allot n certain pro- portion of vessels of every category for use in emergency assistance Bgainstum aggressor when called upon by the League. '

(d) There will be specialised air units which, like the military and naval contingents, will be used only in self-defence or, at the behest of the League, against an aggressor. These units will "possess more powerful machines and more pow- erful equipment than the ordinary air units."

Nothing is said as to whether Germany will be allowed to have such units, but it is gathered that the intention is that she shall not.
