The third committee-completed its labours last night with the adoption of the report of M. Benes and a resolution, moved by M. Large of Norway, with regard to certain desiderata to be submitted to the Council when preparing the general programme for the conference on disarmament.

Several articles in the Benes report were modified, but not substantially. Thus, part of the protocol dealing with security and disarmament has been completed; and now there remains only the section dealing with arbitration, which it is hoped will be completed 10-morrow.
