London, May 18." A Suggestion, current yesterday, that the Prime Minister should accompany the Foreign Secretary to Geneva for the resumption of the Disarmament Conference "La said to reflect Mr MacDonald's own wishes.

He, In particular, has been re- luctant to adruit that there re- mains no alternative to recogni- tion of failure.

The position to-day is marked- ly different from that of July, 1932, when the Premier made an eleven- W-hour visit to Geneva. The Conference was then discussing Disarmament, and Mc MacDonald "was able to submit detailed Bri- tish proposals. It will now be dis- cussing Security, and Britain, with little to offer, will be cast for the role of a listener. we had

Mr. MacDonald's task would not be made easter by the fact that a number of the smaller Powers are determined to stigmatise Bri- tain as baring the way to a Euro- pean Security Pact.

The position of Herr von Rib- bentrop. Herr Hitler's envoy, who saw Str John Simon yesterday, has been described as being "sorie- thing between, that of. Norman Davis and Anthony Eden."

Herr von Ribbentrop has been A member of the Nazi party for some years, and stands high in Its councils. In recent years he has become one of the party's recognised foreign policy, experts.

He has not, however, worked un- der Herr Alfred Rosenberg and the Nazi Foreign Office, but has oc cupled the position of unofficial adviser to Herr Hitler himself: DISARMAMENT COMMISSIONER

TAILS AND JACKETS

AMONG THE COSSACKS

I would like to read a book about. the Barons, telling their story from the birth of Bernhard in Brest- Litovsk, describing his upbringing among the Cossacks, his emigra- tion to América, his penniless struggles for work in that country. and the progress,made with the help of his son and grandson, in the present century. It would be. the record of a fine and pubile- spirited family.

Arcadia Works, the name of the great Carreras factory in London, has a romantic origin. Bernhard Baron first heard of the business as the property of a Madame Car- reras, manufacturing a pipe to- bacco, which Barrie had written about. Barrie. had given it a nom- de-plume: Arcadia Mixture, but its real name was Craven, after. Lord Craven, who smoked it.

Both names, the true and the imaginary, have remained linked with the fortunes of the firm."
