(Received May 0. 5.6 p.m.) LONDON, May 6. The Geneva correspondent of the “Morning Post” states that the Plenary Session of the International Conference dealing with the control of traffio in arms, considered the British amendments to thirty-five articles elaborated by the League Commission. The draft articles stipulate that export licenses are legal only as between Government and Government, and shall be illegal, if for export to certain zones, likely to cause the breaking of the peaoe. It is understood that America is anxious that China should be constituted such a zone, which may bring China into antagonism with Japan, which does a vast trade in arms with China.
The Japanese and American delegates indulged in an exchange of compliments, with the intention of dispelling mutual distrust.
