DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE
MR HENDERSON OPTIMISTIC.
[BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.]
RUGBY, July 27.
Mr A. Henderson, interviewed by the London “Star,” said that although not completely satisfied with the Disarmament Conference’s results to date, he thought the pessimism about its final achievements unjustified. He said, “What people are liable to forget is that 64 nations are represented at Geneva, all with different armament problems, and it is not easy, though not impossible, to adjust so many viewpoints. We have not yet done with the Hoover proposals, the< Simon resolution to abolish aggressive weapons, or clauses in the Versailles Treaty which says Germany agreed to disarm, as a preliminary to general disarmament on the part of the victor nations in the great war. Those three points coupled with the desire of the peoples of the world for disarmament, are iny main reasons for optimism.” "
