I propose the following resolutions to the Sub-Committee.* 

1) The present Paris branch Administration, consisting of 
Citizens Tolain, Fribourg, and Limousin, is confirmed in its 
functions by the London Central Council, which also expresses 
them its thanks for their zeal and activity; 

2) The adjunction of Citizen Pierre Vingard to the Paris branch 
Administration is thought desirable *”; 

3) While thanking Citizen Lefort for the part he took in the 
foundation of the International Society, and earnestly wishing for 
his collaboration, as homme de conseil, with the Paris branch 
Administration, the London Central Council at the same time 
consider themselves not entitled to impose Citizen Lefort in any 
official capacity upon the Paris branch Administration. 

4) Citizen Victor Schily is appointed the Paris delegate of the 
London Central Council. 

In this character he has to act only with the Paris branch 
Administration. He will exercise that droit de surveillance which the 
Paris branch themselves have thought proper to acknowledge as a 
necessary attribute of the Central Council under the present 
political conjuncture.**” ‘
