LEAGUE DECIDES PUBL|COP| P|N|ON| |S
 NOT READY FUR DISAR M \ M [ N I.
Commission Does Not Con- slider Reduction Of Arma- ments Possible Under Present Conditions
IRepublIcan A. p. Leased wire1

GENEVA, Dec. 11-World disarma- ment must be a slow and gradual proc ess, the league of nations assembly commission which has been deliberatina ~ the question more than three weeks sUided today. Opinions of leading members are that neither the political situation nor public opinion is vet ready for full realization of that object.
 In fact, even beginning reduction of armaments is not considered possible by the commission at present. Accord ingly the program to be presented to the assembly is to proceed in three stages The first involves an agree ment between the powers to make no further increase in armament. The second will provide a gradual reduc- tion on a basis to be laid down by the armament commission. The third will provide for general and complete dis armament when it ay be found that the situation permits it.
 NiScount Ishii has improved the oc- casion to give notice that Japan can not reduce her armament while the United States increases hers. One con- spicuous fact is the necessity of prop uganda to prepare the world for a rad ica1 solution of the question.
 The covenant again gave rise to a long and confused debate in the as- sembly this afternoon. The question was how to choose the four elected members of the council. Tho commit tee. which decided the most important point by only one majority. after a long discussion. proposed that the terms of these members be limited to two years and that members shall be eligible for reelection for two years more, then ineligible for reelection the succeeding four years. This provision is intended to facilitate access to the council to all members of the league.
 Another provision which was more stoutly contested apportioned members among tho different continents, Europe and the Americas getting three and Asia one. The provision is held con trary to the covenant which provides that the assembly shall freely choose the members of the council, while ap- portionment would tie the hands ol the next assembly.

 This. he said applies to men of means as we'll as workingmen. i Foreign trade depends on the power of business men to think s.interna- tionally,s he said, in advocating the plan of trusting in the good faith and productive power Of Europe by sending i raw material and accepting in payment l securities repre- enting their producing 1 activities.
 Never in our lifetime he said,
 nave the shelves of the world been so bare. Our export trade hangs by a slender thread. We are rapidly get ting into a position where the world ow es us money and yet cannot pay it.
 'sWe are getting relieved of the im-
 purities in our business life. The pro- cess is not complete yet But the pa i tient will in time be cured and when he
 is cured the great body of American
 business will emerge with a vigor and l energy the world has never known be- fore"
