Great Britain's request for postpone

The officials insist that England
merely means what she says In her
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 its recent accession to office,
the British Government had not had

contrary. they say, information reach

TO approve it, though with reserya-
tions, If accorded ample time.
No government has yet forwarded
suggestions for the disarmament con
ference agenda, pleading lack of time.
League officials are Of the opinion that

Paris.-The British request for the
postpOnement Of the disarmament
question at the coming Rome confer
ence Of the league council was re-
ceived in official circles here without
surprise and alarm. The French atti-
tude is that friendly relations with
the new British Government are a
most important consideration, and in
spite OF having signed the Geneva
protocol the Herriot Government is
ready to discuss changes and new
proposals which Premier Baldwin may
s9ensast On the whole question Of secur-
ividead disarmament.
gstlthat same time there is the feel
ing rat the United States may show
an awakened interest in disarmament
now that the election is over.
