The Cabinet Disarmament Committee is meeting today to examine the results of tho Lord Privy Seal, Mr. Anthony Eden's, recent journey to European capitals. His mission was to collect and collate the views of the three leading European Governments on the British Memorandum, and thus to prepare for the "next stage in the disarmament negotiations. 'He was made aware of the'views of the German and Italian Governments, but response of the French Government' is still awaited. When it is received the whole question of disarmament will, be examined by the British Cabinet. "The Times" says that France is certainly placed in a most difficult predicament, being invited in the British Memorandum to decrease her own armaments while sanctioning an increase in those of Germany. She has been accustomed to trust to her military prowess for the, maintenance of her position in Europe, and her present Government does not believe that it sees anything now to" take the place of arms.
