DISARMAMENT
BUREAU'S OBJECTIVE
PRESENT OUTLOOK NOT HOPEFUL
GENEVA, June 1. The Disarmament Conference Bureau, summoned at French instigation,, decided that the general political and economic situation is at present not such as to ensure the success of the whole original programme, but is inquiring if lovernments are prepared to accept the principle of a draft convention and publicity for national defence expenditures. It is also suggesting that a permanent disarmament commission might be a suitable subject for agreement. Lord Cranborne, -British Foreign Under-Secretary, emphasised that Britain was merely making up deficiencies in her own armaments and would not run the risk of again disappointing public opinion.
