GENEVA SENSATION
DISARMAMENT CONFERANCE POSTPONED AT GREAT BRITAIN'S REQUEST MAY BE INDEFINITE GENEVA, Tuesday. The eleventh hour postponement of the Disarmament Conference, in order to fulfil Britain's request to convene the League Council to discuss the Shanghai situation, has created a sensation. There is a chance of the indefinite postponement of the conference to enable the delegates, as an Assembly of the League,. to consider the SinoJapanese situation. The Chinese may demand the application of Article XVI., which would imply immediate sanctions against Japan. Article XVI. of the League of Nations Covenant provides that if any. members of the Lea'gue, in contravention of its agreement, resorts to arms, sueh a member is ipso facto "deemed to have committed an act of war against all other members of the League," and the other members are obliged to prevent all financial, eommercial or personal intercourse between the nationals of the Covenant-' breaking State and the nationals of any other State.
