"CHECKING' ARMAMENTS
After a promising beginning the current campaign against muni- tions-making and peddling has run into the old familiar bog. It is no secret that selfish Interests: connected very closely with the munition makers themselves, know. their swamp topography. To pull the stalled chariot out, the United tates initiates at Geneva, a new international agreement. It is proposed to subject all manufac ture of arms and munitions to
series of licences. First, orders for actual fabrication would have to receive official authorization

This plan goes about as far as the world seems ready to move in the direction of munitions con- trol. Indeed. It may prove to be a great deal farther than govern- ments will go unless public opinion in manufacturing countries gets really militant. Though it appears to be modest enough the licensing plan has many practical' advan- tages.

DERBY WINNER ACCOUNTS FOR DONCASTER CLASSIC
Tiberius Causes Momentary Suspense
Special to the Daily Press *}
The high expectations by those connected with Windsor Lad was realised yesterday when the colt won the St. Leger in con- vincing manner, coming home two lengths ahead of Tiberius who In turn was a couple of lengths ahead of Lo Zingaro.

The result of the race, according to Reuter is as follows:-
Mr. M. II. Benson's Windsor Lad (C. Smirke) Sir A. Bailey's Tiberius (B. Jones)...... Mr. J. A. Dewar's Lo Zingaro (G. Richards) ... 3 Betting: 4/9 Windsor Lad; 20/1 Tiberius; 100/9 Lo Zingaro. Special place befting: 2/9 Windsor LadTMTM 100/30 Tiberius and 2/1 Lo Zingaro.

HOW WINDSOR
Thousands of people were at the Town Moor at Doncaster to see one of England's greatest racing classics. The going was excep- tionally hard, this being undoubt edly due to the lack of rain for the past few weeks.
(G. Richards)
-The field was sent away to a good start and in a few. lengths Lo Zingare
shot into the lead where he travelled along with a beautiful stride. followed by Primero (C. Ray) and Umidwar (Fox). Windsor Lad (Smirke) was in the middle of the field and Tiberius (Jones) brought up the rear.
Tiberius rapidly made up ground and went right through the field passing the opposition one by one. He led into the straight followed by Lo Zingaro.
I looked for a moment sa though, Jones was going to do the trick with Tiberius, but inside the distance post, Emirke brought up Windsor Lad, who had always been well placed in the centre of the field and the Derby winner came convincingly, winning as s good horse should, by a couple of lengths.

He was passed, as will be recalled, by Windsor Lad, Easton and Colombo, but came away with a strong burst at the finish and all but robbed Colombo of third place.
The colt's display in the Derby earned for him many supporters. He, was not raced again since the Derby, but his trainers sent him out in the Breeders' Foal Plate, which he won comfortably. His success in the St. Leger yesterday was therefore not unexpected.
