URGENT PROBLEM OF DISARMAMENT
VISCOUNT CECIL MAKES APPEAL TO PEACE WORKERS
(British Official Wireless.-—Copyright J Reed. 10.43 a.m. RUGBY, Friday. Viscount Cecil, addressing the League of Nations Union to-day, said one of the objects of his recent resignation from the Cabinet was to enable him with greater fredora to press upon his fellow countrymen the urgency of the problem of disarmament. Every support should be given to the efforts being made by the Preparatory Commission of the League of Nations. “We must realise that if we are to obtain any genuine reductions of armaments, it must be because we can convince the nations that such reduction would not imperil their existence. We have got to increase security and diminish suspicion.” Sir Austen Chamberlain had done much, especially at the meetings of the Council and the Asembly, to increase the prestige of the League. Viscount Cecil begged him and the Government not to be weary in well-doing, and above all not to allow bureaucrats to undermine the League by substituting agencies based on the old diplomacy.—A,, and N.Z.
