GENERAL DISARMAMENT IMPOSS BLE,

BUT REASONABLE LIMITATION PRACTICABLE.

PRESIDENT BARDING'S VIEWS. „-

WASHINGTON, October 12. What President Harding's opinion of the possibility of universal dia- armament which he was asked to support by Mr. Brooklynite is, appears from the reply in which he declares this as beyond the hope of realisation and perhaps not even desirable. Reasonable limitation is a practicable proposition but human nature would require revolutionary reorganisation to? make miversal disarmament possible:

AMERICAN DELEGATES' FIRST MEETING,

FIERCE PRESS CRITICISM OF PANAMA TOLLS BILL.

NEW YORK, October 12.

- The New York Times states that Senator Lodge voice President Harding's opinion in urging rejection of the Bill and describes its passage by the Senate as B thoroughly bad business and every possible step should be taken to undo the mischief. The administration, the paper declares, ought to lose no time in letting foreign governments and Americans know it will go no further.

BRITISH FINANCIAL MISSION.

INTEREST PAYMENTS ON UNITED STATES LOANS.

Former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Mckenna, now Chairman of the Loulon City and Midland Bauk, has arrived on a financial mission. He was met by a Treneury representative. He is expected to confer regardag the interest on payments on United States loans.

FUNDING OF ALLIED DEBTS.

WASHINGTON, October 12.

Instead of Mr. Mellon. the Secretary to the Treasury, being entrus with plenary powers as regards the funding of the foreign debt due to the United States, it is now expected that a bill which the ways and means com- mittee of the House of representatives approved will be passed creating & commission under Mr. Mellen's chairmanship."

(Mr. Mellon urged that Congress should take early action, giving him the fallest authority to conduct the funding negotiations at the earliest mount. The indebtedness of one Allied nation to another must also be considered in other words, Ameria must co-operate with other creditor nations in arranging a plan of settlement. The Governments. of Europe, who red about nine-tenths of the total debt, would in a year he in a condition to pay iûternat, of which none had yet been collected. Na foreign Government had suggested cancellation of the debt since 1919. Mr. Melon deprecated deferring the funding legislation until after the Conference.]

BRITISH INTERESTS IN RUJEIA.

PROTRACTED NEGOTIATIONS WITH SOVIET FAIL.

AGREEMENT CONSIDERED IMPOSSIBLE.

LONDON, October 12.

Contrary to anticipations, the Russo-Asiatic Consolidated Company aunou uces the failure of protracted negotiations with the Soviet Government for the return of the Company's properties. The Company's Chairman, Mr. Leslie Urquhart, who spent three weeks in Moscow negotiating a draft con- tract, has also written to M. Krussin showing the impossibility of any deal- ings with the Soviet authorities. He says that political and economic conditions in Russia are so impossible that the Company prefers to remain as claimants against Russia for the Soviets unlawful appropriation of its poperties and working capital than enter into a contract for their return, sino sa long as the Cotamanist Party controls the Soviet Government the former could through its instruments the Cheka or Extraordinary Com- mission of the Third International and professional unions render any agree- ment with Sovist Government inoperative.

[Previous cables said that Mr. Leslie Urquhart had reached agreement with the Bolsheviks na 35 out of 39 points concerning the reopening of the Russo-Asiatic Consolidated Company's mining properties. He was to discuss the remaining points with Mrassib in London. Lenin and his Government invited Mr. Leslie Urquhart accompanied by five technical experts, to proceed to Moscow to paraue the profatory negotiations started by M. Krassin ini London, with the view. to the return of the Russo Asiatic Company's Siberian properties.]
