ARMS CONFERENCE.
FURTHER DISCUSSION AT WEEK-END.
(British Official .Wireless.)
RUGBY, Dec. 6. Developments at Geneva are considered unlikely until the week-end, when the British and French Premiers, Mr MacDonald and M. Herriot, according to present arrangements will have returned to Geneva from Paris, and Ba.ron von Neurath has consulted the German Government.
The Times commenting on the conversations at Geneva states that there might be other points not included in the resolution on which agreement might now be reached, such as a maximum period of training for conscripts. “In the aggregate these self-imposed restrictions would mark the definite acceptance by all the signatory nations of the principle of limitation, which so fa.r only applies on land to the countries vanquished in the war, and on sea, by their own deliberate act, to the five principal naval Powers. Its extension would at least constitute -a most fa.vourable base from which advance could later be made to substantial all-round reductions.”
