GENEVA IMPASSE
GERMAN MILITARY FORCES ENUMERATION DIFFICULTY. PROGRESS IMPOSSIBLE. (British Official Wirelesa.7 (Received noon.) RUGBY, May 3. The British delegate at Geneva, Captain R. A. Eden, announced at a meeting of the General Commission of the Disarmament Conference that an agreement had been reached with Herr Nadolny (Germany) on the question of the amendments to the British draft conventions, which are directed to exclude militarised police from the calculation of Germany’s ‘armed forces. Herr Nodolny later refused to accept the plan for standardisation of continental armies.
Captain Eden declared that the proposal was essential to balance the British plan, but further progress was impossible, and the discussion was adjourned. Later Herr Nadolny refused to withdraw his other amendments, including the provision for overseas troops to be used only in time of war for policing the colonies.
Captain Eden and M. Massigli (France) resisted this, and the matter was deferred.
A Soviet amendment to apply the British plan, not only to Continental countries, but throughout the world, is being considei'ed.
