TIME NOT RIPE
DISARMAMENT TALKS MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S VIEW DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY (Received February 28. 6.5 p.m.) British "Wireless LONDON, Feb. 27 Replying in the House of Commons to questions regarding the statement in his speech on Tuesday last dealing with the difficulties in the way of a new world conference on peace and disarmament, Mr. Chamberlain said the Government believed permanent peace could only be secured by a settlement which included limitation of armaments and the removal of barriers to international trade. "I have more than once stated my view that before a world conference could be summoned to deal with such questions- a considerable amount of preliminary preparation would be necessary, and I explained the reasons why I do not consider the time has yet arrived when such a conference would be a practical proposition," Mr. Chamberlain added. As soon as he thought it possible to conveno such a conference with any chance of success, said the Prime Minister, he would certainly do so, and would, whenever he thought it might be Useful, communicate with the President of the United States on the matter. .
