GENEVA, Switzerland, April 26 lP.-
sion adjourned tonight without fulfill
ing it's allotted task of preparing a
draft treaty for the reduction of arma-

Loudon, voiced in his valedictory ad-

public opinion and the will of the
governments to negotiate agreements
on the great unsettled issue.
NJ Loudon declared that the com

had demonstrated that a successful
disarmament conference is practically
assured in the future and believed that
