The Records of the 19th and 21st meetings were adopted with the Annexes. The amendment proposed by the Greek Delegation for Article 9 of the Bulgarian Treaty [C.P.(Gen.)Doc. 1.J.21] was considered in three parts—A, C and D; no change was offered for point [Page 495] B.58 Point A, aimed at reducing the size of Bulgaria’s ground forces was withdrawn; point C which aimed at reducing the strength of the Bulgarian Navy was rejected by a vote of 10 against, 6 for (Australia, Canada, Greece, India, New Zealand, South Africa) and five abstentions (Belgium, Brazil, Ethiopia, The Netherlands and Norway); point D which was aimed at reducing the number of air force personnel and setting a time limit of five years for renewing air craft was defeated by a vote of 13–3 (Australia, Greece, South Africa) and five abstentions. This wiping out of the Greek amendment to Article 9 was the only business accomplished at the meeting. The next meeting was set for 10:00 a.m. September 23.
