POWERS IN ACCORD

Britain, France and Belgium MEETING IN LONDON X (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, July 22. The meeting of the Prime Ministers and Foreign Secretaries of Belgium, France, and Great Britain will open to-morrow morning at 10 Downing Street. The British delegation will also include the Lord Privy Seal, Lord Halifax. It is anticipated that the conference proceedings will not be prolonged, as cordial agreement is known to exist between the three Governments as to the scope and purpose of the meeting, which is intended to clear the way for what is earnestly hoped in London may prove to be a more successful stage in the negotiation of a general European settlement.
