ARMS CONFERENCE
PESSIMISM DEPRECATED MR. HENDERSON HOPEFUL British Wireless RUGBY, July 2T Mr. Arthur Henderson, who presided at the Disarmament Conference at Geneva, interviewed by a representative of th® Star, said that although he was not completely satisfied with the results of thft conference to date he thought thsit pessimism about its final achievements was not justified. "What the people are liable to forget ia that 64 nations are represented at Geneva, all with different armament problems, and it is not easy, though it is not impossible, to adjust many points of view," said Mr. Henderson. "We have not yet done with the Hooves proposals, the Simon resolution to .abolish aggressive weapons or the clause in thai Versailles .Treaty which say? that Germany agreed to disarm as a preliminary, tai general disarmament on the part of th«i _ victor natipns in the Great War. Thosei three points, coupled with the desire ol: the peoples of the world for disarmament,, are my main reasons for optimism."
