Paris, Aug. 12.
France, Holland, Luxembourg and Italy today refused point blank to consider a Belgian demand to incr case their military service to two years the period in force in Belgium at present,
It was understood in Belgian quarters here that the Belgian Government would shortly reduce the two-year period which led to strikes and demonstrations.
The six-nation European Army conference, including Germany, took less than two hours to decide to do nothing at this stage.

Yugoslavia has introduced a new system of foreign trade by remote control, designed to pro- vide the maximum free trade compatible with Socialist planning and decentralised public owner- ship of production.
The system, which came into operation on July 1, is considered here to mark a final break with the previous system, borrowed from the Soviet Union, of directing foreign trade through centralised Government departments.
