The  Chairman  remarked  that  Mr.  de  Michelis  was  proposing  an  amendment  to
Resolution  I,  which  had  already  been  adopted  by  the  Commission,  but  he  thought
that  there  would  be  no  objection  to  inserting  the  words  proposed.
This  amendment  was  adopted;  and  Colonel  Obed  Smith  having  withdrawn  his
proposal,  Resolution  1  was  adopted  as  follows:

"Each  Member  should  undertake  to  place  at  the  disposal  of  emigrants
and  immigrants  the  services  of  its  public  employment  exchange  system,
in  addition  to  the  special  services  which  may  exist,  for  the  purpose  of  assis-
ting them  in  securing  employment.
On  the  proposal  of  the  Chairman,  Resolution  2  was  adopted  as  follows :

"For  this  purpose  it  would  be  desirable  that  permanent  relations
should  be  established  between  the  public  employment  exchanges  and  the
public  services  of  emigration  or  of  immigration,  or  of  both,  where  they
exist."

Resolution  3.
In  reply  to  a  question  by  Sir  Ernest  Low,  Mr.  Varlez  pointed  out  that  Resolution  3
was  specially  intended  to  facilitate  relations  between  public  employment  offices  near
contiguous  frontiers.
During  a  discussion  in  which  Mr.  de  Michelis,  Mr.  Oualid,  the  Chairman  and
Sir  Frnest  Low  took  part,  with  regard  to  the  desirability  of  adding  certain  words  to
the  resolution  in  order  to  make  clear  the  intention  with  which  it  had  been  drawn
up,  the  question  was  raised  as  to  whether  the  information  contemplated  in  the
resolution  should  be  exchanged  between  the  central  Governments  or  directly
between  individual  public  employment  exchanges.
Sir  Ernest  Low  was  of  opinion  that  communication  between  the  central  Govern-
ments would  present  difficulties.
The  Chairman  remarked  that  he  would  be  satisfied  with  the  method  of
:  direct  communication  between  individual  public  employment  exchanges,  provided
that  it  were  made  clear  in  the  resolution  that  its  terms  applied  only  to  labour  ex-
changes near  contiguous  frontiers.
