THE GENOA CONFERENCE. SLOW PROGRESS. By cable—press ASSOClATlON—copyright •LONDON, June 18. The Australian Press Association special correspondent at Geneva states: The conference is making very slow progress. The system of bloc nomination andvvoting is holding up work. A meeting of a Government group of South Africans submitted a "block of names for election under such conditions as was tantamount to the suppression of the fights of States desiring representation. The group agreed to individual nominations and a secret ballot, Australia receiving fifty-one votes out of a total of fifty-eight. Messrs Curtail and Thomas objected to the same system in their group. Both were elected to the Anthrax Com. mittee, giving Australia triple representation. An Australian was also elected to the Night Baking Committee. Italians threaten to withdraw unless they are admitted to the deliberations of the grand committees. Labour members are opposing this on the grounds that the Fascist organisation do not fulfil the terms of part thirteen of the Versailles Treaty. They are being pressed to reconsider their" objection.
