TRADE IN MUNITIONS
CONFERENCE MOOTED TO EFFECT CONTROL BRITAIN’S PROPOSAL British Official Wireless , RUGBY, Tuesday. The Government has informed the Secretary-General of the League of Nations, Sir Eric Drummond, that it will submit to the council of the League in May proposals for the summoning of a conference of the signatories to the convention of June, 1925, for the supervision of international trade in arms, ammunition and implements of war. The object is to devise means of bringing the convention into force as soon as possible. It has been signed by 34 States, including America, but few of these Powers have so far ratified it. Britain's ratification was deposited in Paris last week. A condition of it is that the ratification shall become effective only after the principal arms manufacturing Powers have also ratified it. The British Government is particularly anxious to see the. control of the output of munitions put into force, and it is for that purpose that it has proposed the conference.
