Exports, within M. Brisnd's definition of the word, were selected simply as variable National rnings. Germsn reparations will not bs con sidered formally until the near East era questions are settled ; but repara tion dominate the thought ef the French delegation, and this fact prob ably will have an important influence on the decision of the conference re specting the Turkish arrangements.
