FAVOURABLE PRESS COMMENT
IN LONDON.
London, To-day.
The English Press generally, features Britain's disarmament proposals.
The Times says: "They must concentrate on the immediate condition to gain a successful
advance which will give Germany no excuse for remaining outside the Conference.
:
The Daily Telegraph points out that the British policy is guided throughout by the principle of disarmament which itself is a
measure
of security, while the
French plan stresses that the organisation of security does not touch the actual reduction of armaments.
The News Chronicle observes the conspicuous omission of the refusal to consider the abolition of big battleships.

journal, says they have taken a "big step forward,"
