DISARMAMENT.
VISCOUNT CECIL’S MISSION. URGENCY OF THE PROBLEM. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, Oct. 21. Lord Cecil, addressing the League of Nations Onion to-day, said one of the objects of his recent resignation from the Cabinet was to enable him with greater freedom to press upon his fellow countrymen the urgency of the problem of disarmament. Every support should be given to the efforts being made by the preparatory commission of the League of Nations. “We must realise that, if we are to obtain any genuine reductions of armaments, it'must be because we can convince the nations that such reduction would not imperil their existence. We have got to increase security and diminish suspicion.” Sir Austen Chamberlain had done much, especially at the meetings of the Council and the Assembly, to increase the prestige of the League. Lord Cecil begged him and the Government not to be weary in well-doing, and, above all, not to allow the bureaucrats to undermine the League by substituting agencies based on the old diplomacy.
