PREMIER'S REVIEW OF ROME, PARIS AND GENEVA DISCUSSIONS

London, To-day. When he and Sir John Simon arrived at Geneva, they found the Disarmament Conference in grave danger of collapse, as the work had lost itself in the details, declared the Premier, Mr. Ramsay Mac Donald, when reviewing, in the House of Commons yesterday the re- cent conversations with Ministers a Geneva, Rome and Paris.

"We were pledged to give equality to Germany. The time had passed," he continued, "when, by a combination of powers, the Anglo-European people could be bound by obligations which it re- gards as inconsistent with self-respect and honour.

"Signor Mussolini handed us a short document showing that he contemplated an effective plan for collaboration between the four Western Powers to maintain peace in the spirit of the Kellogg Pact, Germany obtaining a declaration conceding equality of status in prin- ciple." the Premier declared.
