This week the members of the Amer
lean delegation are comforting on the
policies TO be urged by them. 1t is
known that they will stand firm for
the practical and against the vision
airy and that they are agreed that
complete disarmament is impractical
at present; but they believe that an
international agreement TO restrict
and reduce armament gradually may
well be reached. Our delegates are
of the same mind as the President in
holding that the proposal of the
pacffists that the United States reduce
armament even if the other nations
refuse is utterly foolish.
The League of Nations had flare
up over this question last week. The
British and French delegates opposed
resolution calling on fixed COM
mission to make general proposals for
reduction of ornaments, and Lord
Robert Cecil. representing South Afri-
ca, declared it was vital for the league
and for peace that something be done,
and that Great Britain and France
should either present their own pro-
posals or cease obstructing the prof.
ects put forward by others. The
resolution was adopted. A commit
tee named to submit an opinion on
the competence of the league to re-
wise treaties, as was asked by Bolivia
in the case of the Peru-Bolivia pact,
found that the assembly cannot of it
self modify any treaty, that being
solely within the competence of the
contracting parties.

Valera's personal assurance to the
contrary, It might involve the govern
ment I'm recognition of Irish indie
pendence (Which no British govern
ment can accord" Nevertheless the
government feels that conference is
the most practical way of accomplish
ing reconciliation and settlement, and
therefore Lloyd George extends to De
Valera fresh invitation to confer
ence i'm London on October II. Arthur

declared the Sim Fein has never
asked the British government to nc

can now accept Lloyd Georges invita-
