Brazil will have three delegates. Belgium and other small European States, including the Czechs- Slovaks, and China will have two delegates apiece. The small American belligerents and Siam will have one delegate each. Montenegro is to have a delegate " when the political situation of this country has been cleared up" and the truth about the reported union of Montenegro with the Southern Slays is made known. The five Powers decided also that the state§ of each national delegation should not depend on its size. In any cas the great nations will exorcise a dominant influence. It war provided also that the same persons need not act continuously as delegates. Great Britain may, for example, be represented at some sittings by Dominion or Indian statesmen.
