United States Delegation Journal
USDel (PC) (Journal) 19
Mr. Stirling (Australia) was unanimously elected Vice Chairman. The Chairman then announced that the following articles of the Draft Treaty had been assigned to the Commission: Preamble, Articles 1–9, 20, 34–37, and Annex I. It was decided to take up these articles in the order named without having any preliminary general discussion on the political and territorial aspects of the Treaty. It was agreed to begin the discussion of the Treaty after the Commission had before it amendments and new proposals submitted by the various Delegations as well as the views of the Hungarian Government, which it was to be requested to submit in writing. It was agreed that representatives of the Hungarian Delegation might later be invited to appear to state their views on specific points whenever the Commission thought it necessary. It was decided that subcommittees would be set up when the Commission found them necessary in dealing with specific issues. The Chairman stated, in connection with the presentation of Hungarian and Rumanian views on the frontier between those two states, that he would get in touch with the Chairman of the Political Commission for Rumania in order to arrange a procedure which would avoid duplication.
