DISARMAMENT PROBLEM.
LAND, SEA AND AIR.
VISCOUNT CECIL'S MOTION.
STIR CAUSED AT GENEVA.
Australian nnd N.Z. Press Association. (Received September 17, 5.25 p.m.) GENEVA. Sept. 1G
Some stir among Iho representatives of those countries where conscription is in forco was caused by the circulation of «i motion by Viscount Cecil. This urged the Preparatory Commission on Disarmament of the League of Nations to consider tho limitation of land, sea and aerial material and personnel, including the restriction of numbers and the period of training. The motion involves the. thorny question of trained reserves which Franco does not welcome. She thinks it entails going back on tho previous British acceptance, under protest, during tho Anglo-French naval discussions, of the French view—the exclusion of reserves. Lord Cecil's idea is to induco a fresh altempt to find a formula with which to approach land and air armaments similar (o tho "yardstick" in tho case of tho Anglo-American naval negotiations.
