League of Nations council opens in Geneva amid disarmament review
United Press reports the fifty ninth session of the League of Nations council convened in Geneva on May 12. The gathering is described as unusually important as it will form a balance sheet of the 1930 program and assess progress since the British Labour government launched it. The council faces decisions on whether the Preparatory Disarmament Commission can meet before the September assembly and deliver concrete progress, a prospect viewed as unlikely in League circles.

British Labour Woes Signal Slow Progress in Disarmament
The League’s push toward disarmament falters as it pauses actions for Britain’s five power conference. Britain’s economic program also suffers defeats with a one year tariff-stability pact and failed efforts to set common coal mine hours across Europe.
