A BLEAK PROSPECT. The decision of the recent Council (he writes) to hold the conference in 1932 was a. choice between two evils. It was no longer possible, after fi.e years, to keep up the blufF of a preparatory commission. JJut otherwise it was necessary to admit final failure or fix a date, and with utter pessimism the Conned chose the latter course. A ral disarmament treaty in 1932 is just as impossible as a Five-Power Naval Treaty was in 1930, and for the same reason, namely, that European na ions are divided now by precisely the issues which prevented Franco-Italian agreement in London.—-Mr Frank Simonds, in the “North American Be view.”
