The officials insist that England

note to the secretariat of the league,
In which the request was made that
the Rome meeting of the council in
December eliminate the disarmament
question from the agenda, because,
owing to It's recent accession to Office,
the British Government had not had
sufficient time to form an opinion on
the protocol for. the pacific settlement

will scrap the protocol would be stupid,
