DISARMAMENT
A COMPLICATED PROBLEM. MR HENDERSON HOPEFUL. (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, July 27. Mr Arthur Henderson,. interviewed by the London Star, said that although not completely satisfied with the Dis'armament Conference’s results to date, he thought any pessimism about its final achievements was unjustified. He said: “What the people are liable to forget is that 64 nations are represented at Geneva, all with different armament problems, and it is not easy, though not impossible, to adjust so many viewpoints. We have not yet done with the Hoover proposals, or the Simon resolution to abolish aggressive weapons, or the clause in the Versailles Treaty which says Germany agreed to disarm as a preliminary to general disarmament on the part of the victor nations in the Great War. Those three points, coupled with the' desire of the peoples of the world for disarmament, are my main reasons for optimism.”
