The Vatican Council made another important lunge into history and into the realisation of the r,eforms urged by Pope John and Pope Paul, with the conclusions of two im­ portant commission meetings in Rome. The Coordinating Commission which is to supervise the inter-session work, streamlined the debate arrangements so as to speed up Council work and make it more effective.

Its work was made public in a Council Press communique. The Liturgical Commission began its task of reviewing the Bishops'- Regional Conferences' proposals and it started to lay the foundation for the long-range reforms asked by the Council Fathers. Its work was made public in an in­ terview by Archbishop Guilford Young of Hobart, Australia, a commission member. '
