SLOW AND GRADUAL
SUCH is THE OPINION OF THE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS ASSEM-.
BLY, COMMISSION.
Believed That Neither Political SituA
ton Nor Public opinion Yet Ready
for World Disarmament-Japa
Fears v. S. War Strength.

Geneva.-WOrld disarmament must
be slow and gradual process, the
league of nations assembly commits
sion, which has been celebrating on
the question more than three weeks,
decided on December u. Opinions
Of leading members are that neither
the political situation nor public Opin-
ion Is yet ready for full realization Of
that object.
In fact, even beginning reduction OF
ornaments is not considered possible
by the commission at present.
Accordingly, the program to be pre-
sented to the assembly is to proceed
in three stages. The first involves an
agreement between the powers to make
no further increase in armament. The
second will provide gradual reduc-
ton on a basis to be laid down by the
armament commission. The third will
provide for general and complete dis
armament when it may be found that
the situation permits it.
ViscOunt 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
radical solution of the question.
