CONTROL OF ARMAMENTS.
CONFERENCE LIKELY TO COLLAPSE. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON, Alay 24. The Daily Express Geneva correspondent states that the French won a signal success at the preliminary conference on disarmament, but may wreck the ultimate conference M. Boncour managed to secure the insertion of the plan to base the limitation of armaments on the potential power of the nations to arm. The Poles, Belgians, Argentinians and Italians supported France, _ which thus had a majority, Italy voting as she did because she is resolutely opposing any control of armaments. There is really a careful plot among certain nations to hinder disarmament. The United States delegation, seeing the futility of a platonic discussion leading nowhere, is likely to refuse to attend the ultimate conference on disarmament, which will thus collapse, as Japan will then reconsider her position. The trouble is due to the fear dominating tlie whole of the present conference.
