DECLARATION FOR PEACE
BRITISH PROGRAMME AT GENEVA. SECURITY DISCUSSION BASIS. British Wireless. Rugby, Feb. 14. The political commission of the Disarmament Conference decided at Geneva to-day to take as a basis of discussion for all questions of security the British programme of work introduced by Mr. R. A. Eden. It also decided that the first Item on the agenda should be the draft declaration submitted by the United Kingdom delegation for signature by European Governments, by the terms of which they are “determined to fulfil not only in the letter but also in the spirit the obligations which they accepted under the Pact of Paris, signed on August 27, 1928. They hereby solemnly undertake that they will not in any case resort to force for the purpose of resolving any present or future differences between them.” The presentation at Geneva of the new British programme of work for the conference designed to speed the attainment of definite progress met with a not unsatisfactory response.
