Confidence that the arms conference would "reach a substantial conclusion" was expressed by Senator Carlo Schanzer, president of the Italian delegation, in a statement last night. Italy, he said would "never hesitate to give all her support to any proposal which may eliminate future conflicts and assure peace."
