London, To-day.

The deadlock at Geneva has been resolved and the acceptance by the Disarmament Confer- ence General Commission yesterday afternoon of a resolution re-asserting the necessity for secur- ity and a general Disarmament convention and outlining an immediate programme of work to that end, marks a definite advance which has caused keen satisfaction in official circles in Lon-

don.

As the result of prolonged consultations between the Bri- tish, French and United States delegations on Thursday night, M.. Louis Barthou, the French delegate, accepted modifications of the draft resolution which he submitted on June 6, and in its final form, which has now received the full approval of the Commission, it recognises the necessity of the return of Germany to the Con ference, and brings within its purview exchanges between the principal European Powers as disclosed in the notes and declara- Lions recently published.

The restoration of complete Anglo-French accord is particu larly welcomed here and a cordial reception is assured M. Bar thou, who has announced his intention of visiting London carly next month.
