SECURITY FIRST
FRANCE'S INSISTENCE AWKWARD SITUATION (Received May 23, .11.30 a.m.) LONDON, May 22. In a significant passage, Mr. Davis said: "The situation admits no further delay. Nations must either go forward in good faith and ** carry out the disarmament policy adopted in 1919, or we must frankly recognise its abandonment and reconcile ourselves to reverting to an armaments race, leading inevitably to another war,"., An awkward situation followed the chairman, Mrl Henderson 's r acceptance of M. Paul-Boneour'a suggestion to proceed to the consideration of Part I dealing'with, security. Mr. Davis intervened, protesting that time should;not be wasted on that, thus disconcerting the French, who interpreted Mr. Davis's attitude to ,mean that they must bo satisfied with vague American promises of collaboration over a consultative pact, while France makes real sacrifices in material and effectives. ■■.'■>' Mr. Henderson relieved a strained situation by adjourning the meeting.
