LEAGUE OF NATIONS
MR BALFOUR ON DISARMAMENT. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. GENEVA, September 10. Mr Balfour, replying to Lord Robert Cecil’s speech, said that disarmament was the most important and difficult question before the League. Though it was evident that the question had not been settled, some progress had been made. Certain countries in Central Europe had actually diminished their armaments and military budgets. One factor had made disarmament difficult. It was expected, that wo would emerge upon a tranquil, pacific world, whereas wars and rumors of wars had not ceased. Under such conditions it was difficult to work for a solution of tho problem of disarmament. Moreover, the absence of certain Powers rendered l-he work of the League lees effective. It was difficult to limit the manufacture of war material when certain countries did not belong to the League and refused to discuss the matter.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
