FOURTEEN PAGES EE REVELSTOKE PASSE SUDDENLY Head of British Delegation to] Commission Says There Is No Reason Why Progress Should Not Be Made With Military Disarmament SHOULD OVERCOME NAVAL DIFFICULTIES Expresses Regret That the Great Naval Powers Have Not Been Able to Reach Agreement--Makes Reply to Soviet Proposals (By George Hambleton, Cana- dian Press Staff Correspondent) Geneva, April 19--The long awaited expression of the British delegation to the preparatory commission on disarmament was made by Lord Cushendun today at a meeting badgered by re- ports that the Soviet delegation would bolt the conference. It was principally a plea to consi- der land and air armaments and leave naval armaments until some later time, The speech was made inthe course of discussion of the German proposal for publicity for armaments, and fol- '1owed the tacit Tejection'by "the com= mission of the broad Soviet pro- posals for extensive partial disarma- ment, Litvinoff, the Russian spokeés- man, protested vigorously at the treatment given his project but was told by the usually calm chairman, onkheer Loudon of Holland: "Put it in writing," The Russians later denied the per- sistent rumors that they would leave the conference. * Cushendun's Proposals Lord Cushendun's address was re- garded as primarily a bid not to dis- cuss naval matters until after the British general elections May 30. He urged the commission to "get on with the land and air problems." He had not doubt, he said, that naval difficulties would be overcome, but "while they are obstructing progress there is no reason why we should not seek an agreement in other branches of armaments." Lord Cushendun said he regretted the naval powers had not reached an agreement, but he emphasized that the leading naval powers which had signed the Washington treaty had already affected a large and im- portant measure of limitation and re- duction in their fleets. He, then made his plea for consideration of land and air armaments. Lord Cushendun strongly urged that the commission should go ahead with its work of preparing a draft convention on disarmament. "We are prepared to make great sacrifices to reach the agreement we desire," he said. 'Unhappily, the efforts to remove naval difficul- ties have not yet been successful. We have not yet succeeded in com- ing to an agreement but we ask the commission to carefully consider this: that although there has not been an'agreement it is necessary to remember that outside the com- mission altogether, the chief naval (Continued on Page 9) Bandit Chief to ..

LORD CUSHENDUN SAYS BRITAIN PREPARED T0 MAKE GREAT SACRIFICES 'SOVIET IDEA FOR DISARMAMENT IS REJECTED TODAY Way Is Left Open, However for Continued Effort by Commission (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Geneva, April 19.--The prepara- tory commission on disarmament of the League of Nations today re- jected the Soviet project for ex- tensive partial world-wide disarm- ament as the basis for its future work. An advisory opinion by the steering committee, however, was worded so as to foster contin- ued Russian collaboration in the League's disarmament efforts. The commission adopted the steering committee's opinion, which sald that if the Soviet dele- gation desired, the preparatory commission, while deciding to con- tinue work on its own draft treaty, would append the Soviet scheme to its final report. This action, if tak- en, woud place the project before any eventual international confer- ence.
