FRANCE BACKS
WORLD PEACE
FRANCE PLEDGES LEAGUE AID
IN ARBITRATION
POLICY
PLEDGES LEAGUE AID
UNITED STATES is EXPECTED TO
TAKE PART IN WORLD
COUNCIL

Gcncva.-Great events which In
League of Nation circles it is firmly
believed are destined To affect the fu-
ture of the whole world, including the
United States, occurred at recent ses-
sion of the assembly of the league.
France Joined Great Britain in pledg-
ing support for the principle of com
pulsory arbitration and through her
premier VI. Herriot, in removing the
doubts of those who feared that
France would hesitate to weaken her
force as great continental military
power.
NJ. HcrrIot announced unequivocally
that France favors an international
conference on disarmament in n calm,
mastery Grafton. like that Premier
Macdonald of Great Britain delivered
before the assembly. NJ Herriot made
the men and women present sit in rig
i'd attention.
The premier told the assembly that
hencefOrth that nation which refused
to submit disputes 10 arbitration would
be Stigmatized as an aggrcssor nation.
The one supreme topic for specun-
tion among the delegates generally was
what effect the reaction in the assem-
bly, would have on the United States.
Next to definite commitments to the
policy of arbitration, one thing stands
out clearly-that is, that all Europe,
led by Great Britain and France. now
lug Ia, g., j- 81, 81
Leaguc of National and no other body
that the peace of the world must be
sOlidified
France. like Great Britain, has made
1t clear that the next disarmament
conference must he convoked by the
League Of Nations because 1t Is CON
sidered the only body fitted and
properly equipped to carry through
such n conference.
"1f you were TO succeed outside the
league declared NJ. Herriot in his
speech, "in creating any body to carry
on this conference. would you not,
have conflict between two bodies, each
fighting the other in the name of
peaceT"
Apparently in the opinion Of many
delegates the United States must
come to Europe, and probably Geneva,
and cooperate with the league of
nations If that country desires 10 take
any part in the next international ef.
fort TO reduce armaments on land and
sea. The general Impression exists
here that the United States will parti,
cipate in such a conference.
NJ. Herriot, speaking of the neces-
sity of universally in the league mem-
bership, and after paying tribute to
the useful collaboration of the United
States in the past, voiced the hope that
now that arbitration was to be the
Keystone of the future, the United
States could not refuse her collabora-
