DISARMAMENT.
RUSSIA MAY TAKE PART. M. TCHITCHERIN'S ANNOUNCEMENT. (BY CABI,*—PRSSS ASSOCIATION—COPIEIGfI.I'). (AUSTRALIAN AND R.Z AND SUB CASL*.) GENEVA, October 31, M. Tchitcherin has telegraphed stating that Russia is prepared to participate in the Preparatory Committee on Disarmament. Russia's participation in the work of the Disarmament Commission means that twenty-six leading nations will b® represented, which, it is believed, greatly increases the chances of success, as the States bordering on Russia and even some of the larger Powers, have hitherto contended they could not cut down their armies, in view of Russia's huge forces. League of Nations observers suggest that tne Soviet has been influenced by Viscoant Cecil's disarmament campaign in"Britain, and the consequent belief that joining the Commission will give the Soviet a chance to attack British armaments. Iraq and Egypt are joining the League shortly, and Argentine and Brazil are expected to return to membership in 1928. The United States is already co-operating in all League activities which are not pnrely politi.cal.
