A Ginzburg-Landau approach has recently been presented-to analyze elastic effects ill phase-s~parating alloys [1]. We oMain a closed description of the composition c only by eliminating the elastic field from the mechanical equilibrium. The elastic contributions to the effective free energy are (i) a long-range "interaction due to the cubic anisotropy, (ii) a dipolar one due to external stresses, and (iii) a long-range one due to elastic modulus
