For this purpose it recommends that States members who have at present no share in the Fund should examine the possibility of placing to their credit in the Fund sums corresponding to those already placed in the Fund by other members, and that States who already have a share in the Fund should, if the total of 7 million Swiss francs (1,635,514 U.S. dollars) is not thus achieved, examine the possibility of placing such further sums in the Fund as may be required for this purpose. The Conference further recommends that States members who were members of the League of Nations on its dissolution and who are entitled to receive a share of the cash assets to be distributed by the Board of Liquidation of the League of Nations should authorize the Board of Liquidation to transfer to the Working Capital Fund on their behalf a sum calculated on the basis indicated in the previous paragraph.
