DISARMAMENT.
BRAZIL’S DEFECTION. Geneva, Sept. 14. M. Oliviera, Brazilian representative, informed the Disarmament Commission of the League of Nations that Brazil is unable to participate in the League’s naval disarmament based on the Washington treaty. The latter gives Brhzil only two capital ships, which is entirely inadequate fox- her population and coastline. It also prohibits Brazil from constructing naval yards. It is feared Brazil’s defection may result in all the South American countries breaking away from the League. —(A. and N.Z.)
