in the Statutes. The Sub-Commission hoped to be able to con-tinue its work on this particular point.

(5) The Sub-Commission proposed to discuss the ąuestion with Mr. Banister, and then to submit the draft of the Statutes to the last mecting of the Executive Committee.

In order to fix the datę of the last meeting of the Executivc Committee the said Committee passed on to a vote by a raising of hands, in order to know whether the 26 August, at 5 p.m. at Lausanne would be convenient.

This proposal was approved by the majority of the membcrs present.

The Chairman then passed on to the last item on the agenda, the qucstion of the dictionary.

Dr. von Moos reported on two questions discussed in Paris with some personalities of the U.A.T.I.:

(a)    the glossary;

(b)    the dictionary.

The glossary prepared in French, English and German was handed over to each member of the Conference. The glossary is to be reprinted with amendments and addenda the delegates would kindly submit to the International Committee not later than the 1 of December 1953. The reprinted glossary would then be handed over to the members together with the third volume of the Proceedings.

Mr. van Mierlo reported on the second question discussed at Paris (see detailed report: “Some rcmarks with respect to the compilation of a multi-lingual dictionary in the field of soil mechanics and foundation engineering”).

Mr. van Mierlo addcd that Unesco in generał is prepared to grant subsidies for covering the printing costs, whereas the intellectual work is voluntary.

Dr. von Moos stated that the printing costs of the new glossary would in any case be covered by the Swiss National Committee on one hand and by Unesco on the other. Therefore, the number of languages of the glossary could be extended to five.

After discussion, Mr. Rocha proposed to set up a permanent Committee responsible for dealing with the question of the dictionary.

The members of this commission would be the following:

Messrs. Dr. von Moos (Chairman)

Buisson Entrecanales van Mierlo Rocha Kjellman.

Messrs. Buisson and van Mierlo having not been in a posi-tion to accept the chairmanship of this Sub-Committee, Dr. von Moos accepted it provisionally.

Dr. von Moos promised to finish by all means the reprint of the glossary which would be issued as soon as possible.

The Chairman stated with pleasure that a permanent Committee would in futurę be responsible for all qucstions regard-ing the publication of the dictionary concerncd.

The Chairman then thanked all the delegates present for their active co-operation and declared the Mecting closed at 18.55.
