THE HAGUE CONFERENCE

Sessions May Begin June 1.-THE
Disarmament Question.

London, Feb. I'm Martens who has arrived
here in pursuance of his mission TO canvass the
sentiment of the powers relative to the pro-
granme Of the coming session OF the Hague con-
ference. held a long conference to-day with Sir
Edward Grey. the British Foreign Secretary.
This will be followed later in the week by con-
ferences with Sir Henry Campbel-Bannerman
and, it is expected, with Whitelsw Reid. the
American Ambassador. NJ Martens may discuss
with the Ambassador the intentions OF the
United States in relation TO the Hague Tribunal
NJ. Martens said to-day that as a result of his
inquiries the date Of the meeting Of the Hague
conference probably would be fixed FOR June 10,
with sessions lasting two months He added:
There can he no doubt that the question Of
irclUsicn of disarmament and the ilnitatton Of

with regard t. the results Of my mission
far, may say that Germany. France and Rus
sia all hold that the question Of disarmament
is not Vet ripe for discussion and further. that
even The liInitati ion of armaments not being a
praCtIcdI question, no good can come from us
Cussing It. but this opposition IS on the merits
of the question and does not go to the extent of
opposing any consideration of the subject If the
United States or Great Britain insists upon such
consideration.
The United States has reserved the right of
placing the question Of disarmament before the
conference. but ] have not heard as vet whether
the Washington government has actually de-
Cided TO do this not.
Turning to the question oc the Drago Doc
trine, NJ. Martens said.
This matter has provoked some misunder
standing and bad feeling. If the doctrine is to
form a guarantee 10 any power not 10 pay its
debts, naturally It will not evoke very much
sympathy, and from this point of view do not
think il will he approved even in the United
States The doctrine accepted by Mr.. Hay,
the late American Secretary II State, with con-
siderable reserve.
IT, on the other hand the doctrine will have
the effect of referring to The Hague, instead Of
causing a resort TO force questions which can
be settled by arbitration it can only be very
useful.
