Three resolutions clearing the way for the inter-Parliamentary Union to consider the question of reduction of armaments at Monday’s session were passed on Saturday night. A resolution drafted by Senator Root expressed appreciation of the work of the League of Nations and Pan-American Union on codification, and urged a general and constructive plan for such codification, based on the progress made during recent years, with a view to defining the fundamental conditions of the regime of peace to be instituted between the nations. The second resolution was introduced by Senator Fontaine, of the Belgian delegation, and provided for “declaration of the rights and duties of nations,” which, would prove a powerful factor in promoting amongst them the sense of order, of international justice, and responsibility. . . , V o.
