GROWTH OF ARMAMENTS
CAUSES OP THE INCREASE
Competition among armament firms was one of the most potent causes ol the dangerous increase of armaments at present, stated delegates at the annual conference of the League of Nations Union at Wellington. It, was stated that the <1 auger was referred to explicitly in the covenant of the League, and since the war several occasions had arisen when armament firms had deliberately attempted to foment trouble. It was admitted that one of the most prominent supporters of a big navy for the United States had been proved to have received large sums for fomenting discord between Britain and the United States in 1927 and preventing any reductions in naval armaments at the Geneva Naval Conference. A resolution was passed urging the Government to use all its influence to have the manufacture of armaments and trade in thorn nationally regulated and internationally supervised.
