ARMAMENT FACTORIES
PROPOSED INSPECTION (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, 20th February. The British Government’s attitude towards the proposal for the inspection of armament factories, a. proposal made at the Traffic in Arms Committee at Genova, was dealt with, in answer to a Parliamentary question, by Sir John Simon, Secretary for Foreign Affairs. He said his Majesty’s Government considered that an elaborate system of permanent and automatic supervision, with local inspection, was net suitable for the limited obiectivc with which ithe Committee was dealing. To achieve results, tlie '.Machinery of supervision could and should be simplified without lessening its effectiveness as regards the immediate object in view. The United Kingdom delegation at Geneva would submit in due course proposals in this respect. The Government’s attitude to a system of permanent and automatic supervision in connection, with a convention for reduction and limitation of armaments is expressed in its memorandum on disarmament issued last year.
