SOVIET PROPOSAL
REDUCTION IN ARMAMENTS. A FIFTY PER CENT CUT. Geneva, April 15. London has dispelled the hope of a full disarmament conference this year, stating that it was impossible for this meeting to proceed with the second reading of the draft convention. This means that the chief business of the session will be the discusion of the Soviet’s proposal for a 50 per cent, cut ?n armaments. The Chinese representatives. General Tang Tso Ping, gave notice resolving that now the peace pact had been signed all the nations should discard compulsory military service.—Australian Press Association.
