One of them may be the setting up of a general economic staff to plan the manufacture .of armaments and the supply of raw materials. The Permanent Military Committee will deal with problems of production, procurement and equipment.

The committee probably will meet regularly. and work out the strategy and tactics to be followed in the event of war. One plan envisages the possibility of losing the whole European main-' land.

Swedish and Norwegian Ministers of Defence will probably meet at Oslo on October 15 to discuss possible Scandinavian defence plans.
