Geneva, To-day. After a period of apparent stagnation, important Disarma- ment developments occurred here yes- terday, in culminat- ing in a meeting be- tween 'Baron Von Neurath, the Ger- man Foreign Minis- ter, and M. Paul Bon- cour, the French Foreign Minister, at which, it is learned, M. Paul Boncour ex- plained the French attitude which, he said, stood upon the agreement reached in Paris with the British, American and Italian Govern- ments, France's three principal points being control and a four-year pro- bation period and in the meantime, no Disarmament.

It is gathered that Baron Von Neu- rath's first reaction was strongly néga- 'tive. He is, how- ever, leaving for Berlin to-morrow to consult Chancellor Hitler.

It is understood that M. Paul Bon- cour has pressed him to bring back de finite proposals to enable the forth- coming meeting of the Bureau of the Disarmament Con- ference to decide on the future course. discussions. Reu- tere
