A.B.C. ARMS PLAN FAILURE
MAY HAVE WIDE EFFECT
Argentina's Action Likely to In.
fuence Santiago Negotiations
Next Year.

The apparent collapse of Brazirs
move for a three -cornered disarma-
ment conference with Argentina and
Chile has caused sensation in diplo-
matte circles here and has led to the
belief in some quarters that the Incl
dent may seriously handicap the gen.
eral disarmament negotiations which
have been expected to take place next
March at the Santiago meeting of the
Pan-American Union.
News of ArSentina's refusal to Join
in the preliminary three-power con-
ference proposed by Brazil led the
Brazilian embassy to issue a state
ment yesterday declaring that both
Argentina and Chile already had
agreed Informally to participate in
the meeting prior to issuance of the
formal invitation.
There were some suggestions that
Secretary Hughes might be asked to
suggest a way in which the three
South American nations could COM
pose their differences SO as to- insure
friendly discussion of the disarma-
ment problem at the Santiago meet
ing. Unless some such step is taken
it appears possible that at least one
Of the leading powers of the South
American continent may be absent
when the Santiago negotiations be-
gin.
