APPENDIX F PROPOSALS BY THE BUREAU REGARDING THE EXPENSES OF THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMMITTEE AND THEIR ALLOCATION 1 Adopted by the Committee on July 14 th , 1938 If, as at present anticipated, the Evian session of the Intergovernmental Committee closes this week, the costs incurred which have been advanced by the French Government can now be estimated to amount altogether to 16,000 Swiss francs. In detail this amount can be roughly subdivided as follows: Allowances paid to the League of Nations Secretariat for the staff put at the disposal of the Intergovernmental Committee……………………………………12,000 Swiss francs. Paper, stencils and roneo ink…………………………………………..1,500 “ “ Miscellaneous expenses (telephone and telegraph communications, liaison by motor-car between Evian and Geneva, etc.)………………………………………………………………………500 “ “ Minutes of plenary meetings and reports of the two Sub-Committees…2,000 Swiss francs Total 16,000 “ “ In the invitation sent by the United States Government to the States attending the Intergovernmental Committee at Evian, it was suggested that these costs should be equitably apportioned. The Secretary-General accordingly suggests the application of the League of Nations scale of allocation of expenditure; thus, each country in the Intergovernmental Committee would assume responsibility for the same number of units of expenditure as that allotted to it at the present time by the League Secretariat at Geneva. 1 Proceedings of the Evian Conference 396
The following table shows in Swiss francs the contribution which each member of the Intergovernmental Committee would thus be asked to make.
