MUCH YET TO BE DONE
TASK OF DISARMAMENT SLOWER AND LONGER British Official Wireless. (Received ,31st August, 10.30 a.m.) RUGBY, 30th August. Lord Cushendun, who is representing Britain at the League of Nations, spoke to British Press representatives at Gcnova to-day oh the subject of the Peaco Pact, which ho signed on behalf of Great Britain las,t Monday and on its relation to disarmament. Lord Gushendun, who has recently stated that tho Pact is "the most impressive declaration ever made by mankind of a determination to preserve peace," said that it would bo a mistake for idealists to claim that now that the Pact was signed everything was done. Ono did not arrivo' at a new heaven so quickly. Evolution always meant slow progress. Ho did not think, because the nations had signed the Pact, they would bo justified in throwing a.ll their armaments on the scrap heap. Disarmament was a much slower and longer task. The same remarks applied to other difficult questions with which Ihe League of Nations had to deal. People must not be impatient
