GENERAL AGREEMENT M. Van Zeeland said that on most points they were in complete agreement, though they had not envisaged definite commitments.
It is learned from most reliable quarters that Mr. Hull and M. Van Zeeland agreed a general economic confererice was ruled out by exist- ing conditions and the necessity of not risking another failure like the London Economic Conference.
However, M. Van Zeeland said he was convinced that some measure of American collaboration was In. dispensable to a European settle been assigned had made no reportment, though neither party had tending to show any such develop ventured to, suggest what form ment had occurred.

REVIEWING THE SITUATION
London, June 21... The British Government is care- fully considering the situation arising from the Italo-German withdrawal from the naval con- troi scheme, which has been operating in spanish waters, but no decision wil be taken without the approval of the Non-Inter- vention Committee.
It is pointed out that when the British Ambassador to Berlin visited Baron von Neurath yes terday he had been instructed to point out that any violent Ger- man action might produce a grave situation, but in an early stage of the conversation Baron von Neurath declared that it was Ger- many's intention to confine action to withdrawal from the control scheme.
The reports of the landing of Italian troops at Malaga and an extensive movement of German warships tu, the East In thë Mediterranean was discounted by Mr. Anthony Eden in the House of Commons. He said that Bri- tish ships on patrol duties in the Malaga area had made no report to show such as development had occurred, neither were the rumours of German warship movements borne out by Admiralty reports.
MARRIAGE BILL
London, June 24.
The Bishops of Britain mustered in force this afternoon at the House of Lords when the Marriage Bill came up for second reading.
The Archbishop of Canterbury said he could not honestly vote against the second reading, though he could not vote in its favour be- cause some of the principal pro- posals of the Bill were inconsistent with the Church's attitude towards divorce, and certainly remarriage after divorce." -
No-one seriously suggested that the law of the state permitting divorce should be repealed. The existing law had given rise to notorious, abuses, notably with re- spect to so-called "hotel bill cases," in affording proof of adultery. This grave sin was not a result of passion in such cases, but a miser- able episode in mutual arrange- ment, amply assisted by solicitors for the parties.
He hoped, said the Archbishop that the BIII would, be amended in some respects in committee. Beuter.

The explanation, that the latest movements of German warships had been occasioned by the need to relleve ships which had been for a long time on "patrol duties is received in British circles as not being unreasonable. The general position at present is des- cribed as a Mul Reater.

The decline of the birth rate in Austria has reached such catna- dimensions, that the trophic

In the preamble to the law it is pointed out that during the year 1936 the number of births in Vienna alone declined by about 14,000.-
