The

Prime Responsility For Maintenance Of Peace

London, Sept. 11. By 3,544,000 to 224,000 the Trade Union Congress yesterday defeated the proposed reference- back of that section of the Gene- ral Council's Report dealing with international policy and defence.

The Report, which had been 1.3 bringing generally regarded support of the Trade Union move- ment to the Government's re-

armament programme, was then adopted almost unanimously.

They would never abandon it, and they wanted to co-operate with other countries in that pur-

pose..

But it would take time, and in the meantime the prime respon- absence of two of the powers in-sibility for maintenance of peace vited to attend the parleys, Ger- many and Italy, M. Delbos insisted that a quick deciston must be taken. The rules of international navigation must be enforced, he said, and they wished and pro- posed to adopt measures univer- sally recognised as indispensable.

M. Maxim Litvinoff, the Russian representative, whose Government levelled charges against Italy just prior to the calling of the confer- ence, declaring Rome responsible for the piratical attacks on Rusatau ships, told the delegates that such disgraceful conduct on the high seas had not been seen for ages Those responsible for it were cri- minals and. bandits, and the Soviet was bound to support a collective organisation for the security of the

sca.

VIRTUAL AGREEMENT

Mr. Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Minister spoke very briefly and did not refer to the political aspects of the case raised by M. Litvinoff. Mr. Eden said it was proposed that the powers concern- ed be kept informed with progress nade by the sub-committees to be appointed.

"Let us press on to a speedy con- clusion," he urged.

The conference then went into

London, Sept. 11.

In spite of official denials, both In London and Rome, negotia- tions between Britain and Italy are continuing.

The stay in England of the British Ambassador to Rome, the Earl of Perth (formerly Sir Eric Drummond) led to statements that the Ango-Italian negotia- tions for settling of the dispute between the two countries, would remain in abeyance until the Am- bassador returned to his post..,

Now the "News Chronicle" learns on the most reliable "au- thority that at no time were the talks for an Anglo-Italian rap- prochement suspended.

The talks, the journal says, are progressing in, Rome behind the scenes, with no attendant pub- licity.

The conference finally adjourned at 7.45 p.m. and will meet again at 6 p.m. to-morrow, when the com- mittee of the whole will meet again priyately.

It is also agreed that a zone should be offer- ed to Italy, that France and Bri- tain patrol the area of the western. Mediterranean, and that the zones in the eastern Mediterranean be patrolled by the remaining powers at the conference.

A communique states that the conference has examined the prin- ciples of action to be undertaken to end the acts of piracy | ·com- mitted in the Mediterranean by submarines and also the manner in which the forces of the different navies should be employed for this purpose. Reuter

London, Sept. 11. This afternoon's session of the conference at Nyon lasted two hours. Later it was announced that complete agreement had been reached so far as the present stage of the negotiations go, and that the work of the Conference was practically over.
