GENEVA PROTOCOL SCRAPPED.
Dominions Strong Objections.
PROSPECTS OF DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE. By Cable —Press Association—Copyright. Australian and a\Z. Cable Association. (Received 8.20 p.m., November 19.) JA)NI >ON, November 19. The diplomatic correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph" all inns that the Gene\a Protocol lias now been scrapped. The British Government's decision for postponement is not surprising, n. view of the objections raised by the Dominions. Jt is significant that Signor Mussolini recently expressed doubts a? to the wisdom of Italian ratification and even French enthusiasm cooled, while Japan was lukewarm from the start, until she secured the dangerous clauses sanctioning intervention in disputes arising over immigration laws and domestic legislation. There are hopes that the Dis;frn.--ment Conference, however, need not he abandoned, the demise of the League Conference, furnishing President Coolklge * with an opportunity of which the Geneva plan deprived him.
