5000 University of Nebraska stud

the conferees Will find two great OBJ
stacles TO disarmament, one present

France" said the senator. with
her great army Of 100000 men Will
object 10 military disarmament un-
less, and until. she can be assured
by other nations of protection from
Germany in case she disarms. .
The question is whether the other
nations will be able to give France
such guarantee of protection as will
induce her to agree upon a military
disarmament.
Very few people are so sanguine
to believe that this Will be possible
and it follows, therefore. that there
is not much hope at the present
time that an agreement for military
disarmament will be reached at this
conference"
Pledge Protection.
Had the United States Joined the
League of Nations" he said, II and
other members of the league would
be committed 10 a pledge of pro-
lection for France against external
aggression and France would have
no excuse, or much less excuse, for
maintaining her enormous army"
Regarding naval disarmament he
said an entirely different situation
