DISARMAMENT
RUSSIA AND SWITZERLAND DISPUTE OYER CONFERENCE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, February 14. A reconciliation between Russia and Switzerland, upon which depends the Soviet’s participation in the League's disarmament conference, is making little headway judging bv an official statement from Moscow of blaming the Swiss attitude for failure to settle the dispute through the medium of France, and declaring that Switzerland insisted upon eliminating from the text in its declaration anything that might he interpreted as an unqualified expression of regret for the assassination of M. Yorowsky, and, further, that Switzerland refused to consent to any formula establishing an agreement to compensate M. Yorowsky’s daughter. The Soviet statement, however, acknowledges with gratitude the efforts of the French Government.
A message from Moscow states that, M. Tchitcnerin,_ in reply_ to the League’s invitation to participate in the preparatory meeting of the Disarmament Conference, expresses the hope that the obstacles arising from the Soviet’s dispute with Switzerland Will be eliminated. Otherwise the Soviet will hold the Council of the League responsible for its exclusion. — Reuter.
