DISARMAMENTS
BOMBING FOR POLICE PURPOSES
BRITAIN’S ATTITUDE OPPOSED
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, July 24
A- deputation from the women’s advisory council of the League' of Nation protested in an interview with the under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Captain Eden, against the retention of the, reservation In the Draft Disarmament Convention regarding the use of bombing for police purposes to outlying districts. Captain Eden expressed his warm interest in the viewpoints expressed, and he promised to report them to the prime Minister. He recalled his speech in the House of Commons, which was reported in a Rugby message on July 5, and assured the delegation that the reasons for this inclusion of this reservation were weighty, and were based on special responsibilities which the United Kingdom bore in an exceptional degree in certain areas. He cited instances in which a saving, not only of money, but of life resulted from the employment of the bombing weapon for police purposes.
