LAND ARMAMENTS.
THE AMERICAN PROPOSAL.
ATTITUDE OF FRANCE. MAY BE A STUMBLING BLOCK. (Bjr Cable.—Frew Association.— Copyright) (Received 10.30 am.) WASHINGTON, December 27. Senator H. C. Lodge, in a speech before the Senate, said that a'conference to consider land disarmament, as Senator W. E. Borah suggested in connection with his proposal for an economic conference, would be useless unless France withdrew her objections and agreed to co-operate with other Powers in lowering her land forces. He had no information that France had changed her attitude at the Washington Conference when she refused to consider land armament?. Mr. Lodge said that the United States had already reduced her lend forces to something less than proper peace strength. While he doubted that the proposal for an economic conference was in order under the Senate rules, he declared its importance was groat, selfishness alone making all desire to do anything possible for the stabilisation of European affairs.—(A. and N.Z.)
