DISARMAMENT
CONFERENCE RESULTS. [ British Official Wireless.] RUGBY, July 27. Mr. Arthur Henderson (chairman of the Disarmament Conference) interviewed by the London Star, said that altogether he was not completely satisfied with the Conference’s results to date, he thought that pessimism about its final achievements was unjustified. He said: “What 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, the Simon resolution to abolish aggressive weapons, or the clause in the Versailles Treaty which says that Germany agreed to disarm as a preliminary to general disarmament on the part of the victorious 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. ’ ’
