Geneva Conference Must Make
Fateful Decisions.
GERMANY ABSENT,
(British Official Wireless.) I (Beceived 11.30 a.m.) RUGBY, September 21. Mr. Arthur Henderson opened the meeting of the Bureau of the Disarmament Commission at Geneva to-day. The German delegate was absent, but the other Great Powers were represented. On the- suggestion of the chairman the bureau postponed any discussion on the subject of Germany's absence till the German Government had an opportunity of answering Mr. Henderson's letter of September 18, in which he invited the German Government to reconsider its decision to abstain from the Disarmament Conference till the equality claim had been considered.
Mr. Henderson, proceeding, declared that the Disarmament Conference had reached its most crucial stage, and lie urged the delegates to start on a new road. Everything that had happened since the adjournment had strengthened their case, and fateful decisions must be taken.
