SIMULTILATERAL-SHIPPING-FEB. 11 , 1946 This Committee: (a) shall consider U.N.R.R.A.'s requirements for loading in areas other than the United States and Canada. The nations ac- cepting Part "A" of this agreement recognise the necessity for meeting such requirements to the best of their ability and through their representatives on the Committee shall co-ordi- nate the provision of tonnage they are able to make available for these programmes. (b) shall keep the tonnage situation in loading areas other than the United States and Canada constantly under review. Recog- nising the necessity for an adequate supply of tonnage for load- ing in these areas the nations represented shall authorise the Committee to consider and recommend the measures that should be taken to assist the fulfilment of the programmes affected in the event that normal commercial channels are failing to ensure an adequate supply of tonnage. General 6. That nations needing shipping assistance other than that secured from the Contributory Pool, shall make suitable arrangements for the procurement of tonnage through commercial channels or may request it from other nations.
