RUSSO-SWISS DISPUTE SOVIET AND LEAGUE OF NATIONS FRENCH GOVERNMENT AS MEDITATOR LONDON, Feb. 34. The Russo-Swiss reconciliation, upon which depends the Soviet’s participation in the League disarmament conference, is making little headway, judging by Moscow’s official statement blaming the Swiss attitude for failure tn settle the dispute through the medium of France, and declaring that Switzerland insisted upon eliminating from the text its declaration of anything that might be interpreted as an unqualified expression of regret for the assassination of Vorowsky; also that Switzerland refused to consent to any formula establishing an agreement to compensate Vorowsky’s daughter. The Soviet statement, however, acknowledges with gratitude the efforts of the French Government. A Moscow message states that Tchitcherin, in reply to the League invitation to participate in the preparatory meeting of the disarmament conference hopes that the obstacles arising out of the Soviet’s dispute with Switzerland will be eliminated. Otherwise the Soviet will hold the Council of the League responsible for its exclusion.
