UNCOMPROMISING VIEWS.

REVEALED IN GENEVA SPEECHES.

(Received 11. 2.20 p.m.) London, Sept. 11. A correspondent at Geneva states that speeches yesterday at the third committee’s session emphasized uncompromising views of riyal parties regarding security and arbitration. M. Boncour, who is president of the French Advisory Committee, or higher council of defence, also the most distinguished member of the Radical section in the Chamber of Deputies, placed beyond doubt the French demand for military sanctions, preferably on the model of mutual assistance treaty. . . Lord Parmoor made clear Britain’s opinion that the present work of the assembly is to prepare for an international disarmament conference. He added: “At the proper time Britain will submit a proposal for arbitration, security and disarmament.” Considerable curiosity has been aroused regarding the details.—(A. N.Z.)
