WILL TO DISARM
Reasons for Optimism PROGRESS AT GENEVA Unrealised Difficulties Official Wireless. Rugby, July 27. Mr. Arthur Henderson, who has just returned to London after six months in Geneva, where he presided over the Disarmament Conference, interviewed by the London “Star” to-day, said that although he was not'completely satisfied with the results of the Conference to date, he thought that pessimism about its final achievements was unjustified. “What people are liable to forget is that sixty-four nations are represented at Geneva, all with different armament problems, and it is not easy, though not impossible, to adjust so many viewpoints,” he said.” . We have not yet done with the Hoover proposals, the Simon resolution to abolish aggressive weapons, or the clause in the Versailles Treaty which says that Germany agrees to disarm as a preliminary to general ■ disarmament on the part of the victor nations in the Great War. “Those three points, coupled with the desire of the peoples of the world for disarmament, are my main reasons for optimism.”
