SECURITY COMMITTEE

MEETING AT GENEVA LORD CUSHENDUN TO ATTEND Rugby, February 17. Lord Cushendun will leave London to-morrow morning for Geneva to attend the first meeting of the Security Committee constituted in December last. The Security Committee was formed in order that the Preparatory Commission on Disarmament should confine itself to the technical problem of disarmament, while the parallel questions of security and arbitration should be considered by a separate body. The Security Committee, of which Dr. Benes is president, will have as a basis for its work a memorandum which was drawn up by the sub-committee, and which embodies the views of the various countries lately communicated to the League.—British Official Wireless. Geneva, February 16. The meeting of the Preparatory Disarmament Commission is convened for March 15. The agenda includes the report of the Security Committee, M. Litvinoff’s proposals for disarmament, and the second reading of the Commission’s draft on the disarmament prospects.;
