DISARMAMENT
DISCUSSION AT GENEVA
(Received 12th November, 2.30 p.m.) GENEVA, 11th November. The Preparatory Disarmament Committee considered direct limitation of armament by requiring coimt-eies to furnish lists" of weapons and ammunition available, and limitation by pub- . licity. Signor de Marinis (Italy) thought that the British supervisory scheme removed the objection of direct limitation. Lord Cecil, wearing a Flanders poppy, favoured publicity, but did not regard it as a method of limitation. The delimitation of effectives and material must supplement it. Direct
limitation was only best for largecalibre arms. Limitation of military expenditure was preferable, though difficult. For tlfe United States he hoped a compromise could be discovered. Mr. Gibson (U.S.A.) said that America adhered to the direct method and would apply it, if others provided an efficacious system of limitation of expenditure. Count Bernstorff (Germany) considered direct limitation essential.
