Britain's attempt to persuade France to "grant a little disarmin- ment on account as a gesture to- warda Germany," is the descrip- tion applied by political writers to the Anglo-French disarmament con- versations which are opening to-

day.

It is understood that the present stocks held in the Colony total approximately 900,000 bags, but what proportion of this is affected is not yet known. Many godowns have yet to be examined. Of those already inspected, some are "alive" with weevils. In others, few have been found.

Dealers point out that some of the stocks have been held as long as eighteen months, and that it is on account of this, coupled with the unusually dry and hot summer, that the weevil pest has spread with such alarming rapidity.

It is learned that as a result of inspections carried out by the Health Department some 50 tons of flour has been condemned and dumped into the sea.
