Chilean reservation on scrap iron and scrap zinc rejected under paragraph 2 but accepted under paragraph 1. Reservation on mares accepted under paragraph 1.

Decision on Czechoslovak reservations postponed at the request of [Dr. Vincent] Ibl pending receipt by him of further instructions.

There was then a preliminary discussion of the second and third points of agenda dealing with conditions required for entry into force of convention. This brought up a greater divergence of opinion than hitherto manifested in Conference. Tendencies not yet sufficiently clarified to telegraph.
