States would in no way commit the
American government to whatever
opinions may be finally put forward
in the report of the commission.
Nor, inded, can that report itself be
more than basis for the considera-
ton by the members of the league
of the measures of reductions in
ornaments which united action may
enable them to achieve. Neverthe-
less, just as in the case of the fl
nancial conference at Brussels, the
presence Of an American representa-
tive was an important factor in
the success of the work of the con-
ference, so it cannot be doubted that
the general consideration of the
subject of the reduction of arma-
ments will be greatly Facilitated if
the government of the United States
can see it's way to be represented in
a similar manner, at the meeting OF
the permanent advisory commission.
"The problem is one to which pub
lie opinion in all countries attaches
the highest Importance.
1t is unnecessary to point out
that the reduction of armaments 1s
essential for the well-betng of the
ures of relief can be found by in
ternational cooperation for the ex-
cessive taxation due to ornaments
the general economic situation must
become increasingly worse.
The council in extending this in
vitation cannot but hope that the
government Of the United States,
particularly in view of the attitude
Of America toward the question of
the competition in ornaments, will
ofnf 20 s11f = I,
the governments of the members of
the league in beginning the prelim-
mary work necessary for ultimate
success and to lend to the present
effort an assistance which can in
no way encroach upon it's own per-
feet liberty of action"
