ELIMINATION OF WAR.
BRITISH GENERAL'S PLAN. FRENCH AND GERMAN SUPPORT. (Received 12.35 aia.) Reuter. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. At to-day's session of the Inter-Parlia-mentary Onion Conference, General E. L. Speers (Britain) submitted a pkn for eliminating the risk of war. His proposal was to establish a zone between neighbouring nations in which no troops nor fortifications would be permitted, and across which no armed force might pass. General Speers cited as successful examples of demilitarised zones the idea of an agreement between Britain and the United States for the protection of the American-Canadian border, and that reached in 1905 between Norway and Sweden. The League of Nations, he said, furnished the instrument by which it would b« possible to guarantee a strip of territory. The problems of Europe were not as far removed from those of the Pacific as the mileage indicated, said General Speers. The French and German delegates favoured the proposal.
