EIGHTEEN PAGES LITT ATION OF LAND FORCES URGED British Proposal Backed by German Delegation, But Strongly Opposed by France, Italy and Japan DEBATE ADJOURNS WITHOUT A VOTE French Delegate Declared the Question of Trained Land Reserves Had Been Definitely Set Aside Last Spring by the Preparatory Commission (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 19.-- Conflict of opinion appeared in the League of Nations disarmament com- mittee today when the British dele- gation moved to reopen the ques- tion of considering trained army re- serves in seeking the basis for gen- eral disarmament. Lord Robert Cecil presented the British proposal and was supported by the German delegation but en- countered opposition from the dele~ gations of France, Italy and Japan. Lord Cecil described the question of disarmament as the cornerstone of the edifice of world peace and insisted that limitation of land for- ces, both personnel and material, es- pecially material, was the most im- portant part of the disarmament pro- blem. Rene Massigli, French delegate, de- fended the position that the gques- tion of trained land 'reserves had been definitely set aside at the last spring' meeting of the preparatory commission and pleaded that it was unwise to discuss the subject of 'mil- itary forces while the Anglo-Ameri- can naval discussions were proceed- ing. France, said M. Massigli, regarded it rather unfair of Great Britain to reopen the trained reserves question after the declaration by Lord Cush- endun at the spring meeting agree- ing that this must be left for settle- ment by the continental powers. © Deplores Changed Policy The youthful French® spokesman deplored that a change of govern- ment in Great Britain should result in" a change of policy and suggest- ed that at some time in the future there might be another change - of government in Great Britain and an- other British delegation might be found to carry different suggestions. The debate was adjourned this ai- ternoon until tomorrow without a vote being reached. It was under- stood that Lord Cecil and his collea- gues hoped only to make Great Bri- tain's change of attitude clear and to leave her hands free to press con- sideration of the limitation of mili- tary forces and stores. Lord Cecil's resolution read: "The assembly, being convinced that a progressive and general reduc- tion of armaments is urgently need- ed throughout the world expresses the hope that the preparatory com- mission will finish its labors at the earliest possible moment, and that in completing a draft disarmament convention it would consider how (Continued on Page 6) Cluistens 23rd Child "Finis" Sturgeon Falls, Ont., Sept, 19.-- "Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bert- rand, a daughter, Gilberte Finis Estelle."

(By Canadian Press) Toronto, Sept. 19--When an au- tomobile strikes a pedestrian it is amore or less commonplac event, but when a pedestrian strikes an ajito it becomes something else again. Yesterday alisrioon a young man stood on a King street cor- ner watching the lines of cars go by. The young man was Kris Nad- koll, a 22-year-old Macedonian who had arrived in Canada only a few days before. The noise and bustle of the swirling traffic, the honking of horns and the many sounds of a five-o'clock traffic rush confused and bewildered the young immigrant. Patiently he waited for an op- portunity, to cross the street, his Young Macedonian Charges Auto In Traffic Line With His Head eyes looking for a break in the line of cars. He started to cross the street just as an auto whizzed by within a hair-breadth of Nad- koll's feet. Frightened by tha sight of cars speeding in all di- rections the young Macedonian de- cided that life was sweet and pre- pared to sell it dearly. Lowering his head between his shoulders in approved rugby style, Nadkoll dashed across the street to the safety &f the curb and charged head first into the side window of an automobile. There was a crash of broken glass and the amazed driver beheld a blood- covered head poked through tna broken window of his car: Nadkoll was taken to St. Miche ael"s hospital,
