MANY DIFFICULTIES
LIMITATION OF ARMAMENTS LEAGUE’S COMMISSION REPORTS COUNCIL TO CONSIDER By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. U'tralian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received November 30. 8.15 p.m.) GENEVA, November 3*\ The Disarmament Commission, in a report, says that the limitation of armament budgets does not offer a practical basis for limiting armaments. The commission therefore favours the creation of a permanent body, under the auspices of the League of Nations, to study the statistics of each country and see if a disarmament convention is fulfilled. The commission favours the prohibition of chemical and bacteriological warfare, but admits that such factories as dye works may quickly be transformed into poison-gas plants, and that it is impossible to restrict the manufacture of poison gases used for industrial purposes. The human element is the most important factor in war, not only as regards soldiers, but for making war products, of which the most important are food, steel, money, fuel, nitrates, sulphurio acid, and indin rubber. The report will be submitted to the Council cf the League on December 6th.
