AS THE OUTCOME OF THE GREAT POWERS' MEETING MR. ARTHUR HENDERSON, PRESIDENT OF THE DIS- ARMAMENT CONFERENCE.

As most of the principal delegates will leave after to-day's meeting, however, it is doubtful if the proceedings will be serious.

a compromise, as it is realised that a recommendation to adjourn

Italy openly advocates adjournment while the Ameri- cans also favour it, but Dr. Benes, of Czecho-slovakia, re- presenting the small Powers, strongly opposed adjourn- ment,

The meeting further drafted a letter in reply to the German

Foreign Minister, Baron von Neurath, which will be submitted at to day's meeting of the General Commission. It is understood to firmly reject Baron von Neurath's charges. Reuter.
