TIME NOT RIPE
FOR WORLD CONFERENCE ON ARMAMENTS MR CHAMBERLAIN VIEW. EXTENDED PREPARATION NEEDED. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, February 27. Replying in the House of Commons today to questions regarding a statement in his speech on Tuesday last dealing with the difficulties iri the way of a new world conference on peace and disarmament, Mr Chamberlain said that the Government believed that permanent peace could only be secured by a settlement which included a limitation of armaments and the removal of barriers io international trade. “I have more than once stated my view,” said the Prime Minister, “that, before a world conference could be summoned to deal with such questions, a considerable amount of preliminary preparation would be necessary, and I explained reasons why I do not consider that the time has yet arrived when such a conference could be a practical proposition.” Mr Chamberlain added that as soon as he thought it possible to convene such a conference with any chance of success, he certainly would-do so, and would, whenever he thought it might be useful, communicate with the President of the United States of America on the matter.
