DISARMAMENT ISSUE.
NEW ZEALAND'S VIEWS. BRITISH POLICY SUPPORTED. GENEVA, Feb. 16. Fresh interest was given to the flagging discussion at the Disarmament Conference to-day by an intense appeal by Dr. Bosch, Argentina, for an agreement to prevent a repetition of the inhumanity and suffering involved in war. The High Commissioner for New Zealand, Sir Thomas Wilford, said the Dominion accepted the draft convention as a basis for discussion, and shared Sir John Simon's views on security. It opposed the French proposal to create an international police force. New Zealand considered that the Washington and London naval 'agreements should be the basis for international agreements. She favoured the abolition of chemical warfare and submarines, but realised the difficulty of accomplishing the latter.
