DISARMAMENT
MEETING OF COMMISSION. BRITAIN’S PROPOSALS. (British Official Wireless). Rugby, January 30. The bureau of the World Disarmament Conference met at Geneva to prepare for- the meeting of the general commission on Tuesday. Press messages suggest that provision is being made to obviate the delay resulting from the week-end political crisis in France and Germany. M. Daladier, the radical Socialist, who is entrusted by the President (M. Lebrun) with the task of forming the new French Government, hopes, according to Paris telegrams, to complete his Cabinet late to-night. If, owing to the absence of the French delegate discussion of the French plan cannot be begun as arranged, Thursday’s meeting of the commission will consider minor affairs, pending his arrival.
The programme of work put forward by Britain to facilitate the progress of the conference and speed up practical decisions will come before the commission at an early date, and it is hoped that the proposals, which are not a new or rival “plan,” but aim only at co-ordinating the results of many months’ discussions and accelerating agreement, will secure general support.
