At the meeting of the General Commission of the Disarmament Conference on 1st June the President, Mr. Henderson, after reviewing the existing situation, proposed the adjournment of the General Commission until 5th June, the Bureau of the Conference being called for to-day. In view of the number of proposals put forward at the meeting of 1st June the President later announced the postponement of the next meeting of the General Commission until Wednesday. In these circumstances I do not propose to make any statement to-day.
