ARMS AND THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
VISCOUNT CECIL OPTIMISTIG
COMMITTEE'S DELIBERATIONS,
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) LONDON, sth December. Viscount Cecil, at Geneva, prior to tho meeting of tho Council of tho Longuo of Nations, stated that he was well satisfied with the result of the League Disarmament Sub-Committee's deliberations. These possibly will be the turning-point in tho League's history. The League now is turning its attention to the prevention of war, in-, stead of provision for the punishment of an aggressor. "Under tho projects wo have ordered to be prepared," said Viscount Cecil, "the League would be convoked immediately a threat of war was mado, and it would remain iv constant session, utilising every means to prevent war. Had it been possible in August, 1914, to summon such a Council, it is almost certain that the Great War would havo been prevented. We have also recommended measures which will enable the Council to use all the League's weapons and influence on behalf of an attacked nation in the event of war being actually started."
