Loadou, To-day.

The British Government's atti tude towards the proposal for an inspection of armament factories, made at the Traffic in Arms Com- mittee at Geneva, was

To achieve results the ma- chinery of supervision could and should be simplified, without lessening its effectiveness as re gards the immediate object in view.
