DISARMAMENT ISSUE
A DIFFICULT POSITION. WHEN THE CONFERENCE REASSEMBLES. (Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 12.25 p.m.) London, October 20. Even the best informed quarters profess inability to see light on the disarmament situation. There is considerable perturbation over the proper course of action when the full Conference again meets at Geneva on Thursday. Obviously there can be little use in other nations signing a disarmament convention, which in itself would be a difficult achievement, if Germany, acting on the lines of Hitler’s “sign nothing” speech, refuses to be associated therewith. Furthermore, it is felt that any attempt to force Germany into acquiescence might act as a spark to a powder barrel. It appears, therefore, that the Conference .will endeavour to leave the door open to Germany in the hope of inducing a calmer state of mind, with the possibility of renewed discussions after the plebiscite on November 12. Doubtless the Dominions will be kept informed of the trend of opinion.
