ARMAMENT RACE.
EXAMPLE OF AUSTRALIA. NO DESIRE FOR WAR. LESSON TO OTHER STATES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received. Oct. 2, 5.5 p,m. Geneva, Oct. 1. At the meeting of the league of Nations, Mr. Bruce (an Australian delegate), opening the debate on the disarmament report, said Australia was ready to sign the St. Germain protocol regarding the manufacture and trafficking in arms and munitions. In Australia only the Government could manufacture and control the manufacture of munitions made. The race in armaments would surely lead to ruin if unchecked. If Australia, with her 12,000 mile coastline to defend, in fear of attack became involved in perpetual defensive preparations, she could not trade with the rest of the world. Australia did not desire perpetual preparations for war. She wanted to see serious steps taken towards a gradual reduction of armaments.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
