Wednesday's papers contain the full text of the recommendations of
the Economic Conference of the Allies, held in Paris during last week. After a general statement that the Empires of Central frope, having forced a military contest upon us, are now preparing for one on the economic plane, and that the Allies cannot conceal from themselves that the object of the Central Powers is "domino.- lion over the production and the markets of the whole world," and the imposing on other countries of an intolerable yoke, the Agreement lays down the duty of the Allied Governments. The delegates express their intention of advising their Governments to adopt the measures requisite to secure for themselves and for the neutral countries full economic independence and respect for sound commercial practice, and, further, to facilitate the organi- sation on a permanent basis of their economic alliance.
