GENEVA CONFERENCE
jrr , ■ ’Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.] CONDON, May 24. The “Daily Express” Geneva correspondent states that the French won a signal success at the preliminary conference on disarmament; but may wreck the ultimate conference. M. Boneour managed to secure the insertion of a plan to base the limitation of armaments on the potential power of nations to' arm. The Poles, Belgians, Argentinians, and Italians supported France, who thps had a majority voting as she did, because she is resolutely opposing any control, of armaments. There is really la careful plot among certain nations to hinder disarmament. The United States delegation seeing the futility of platonic discussions, leading nowhere, is likely to refuse to attend the ultimate conference on disarmament, which Will thus collapse, as Japan will then reconsider her position. The trouble is due to a fear of domination in the whole of the present conference.
