THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
(Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.)
LEAGUE CONFERENCE. GENEVA, Sept. 9. The public galleries were packed when the Belgian. M. Vanderveldi, resumed the debate. He deplored the division of the Assembly into two camps. The Assembly owed itself the duty of considering Dutch and other proposals based on principles of the Protocol, in order to record an opinion against war. They should proceed slowly and. prudently. An incomplete solution would be dangerous. The Disarmament Conference had not failed. The Powers now recognised there was not merely a moral, but a judicial obligation to disarm. It was now essential to prepare, a solution of the problem leaving its execution to the nations. It was impossible for nations to remain stationary. They must either disarm or continue the pursuit of armaments lending inevitably to war. The people’s wanted not merely guarantees, hut conscious security.
