VIENNA, March GA correspondent
OF the Times reports the situation as
follows:
Russia has never yet said anything
officially which would make 1t appear
that she considers the conditions at
tached to disarmament are to be taken
as final; so there Is always chance OF
inducing her to listen to some compro-
mise. Notwithstanding the alarming
statements current in Vienna, it may be
safely asserted that England has insist
ed neither on introducing q disarma-
ment clause into the protocol nor on
submitting the protocol to Turkey; all
England demanded was that Russia
should engage, In some form or other,
to disarm after the signing Of that pa
per.
Russia retorted that she could not
enter into such an engagement until
peace was concluded with Montenegro
and Turkey likewise consented to dis
arm. The object Of on'inuing the ne
gotiation is to secure these primary re-
suits. Russia's desire for peace being
regarded as sincere, an arrangement Is
more probable than rupture.
