GENEVA, Sept. Differences Of
opinion characterized the meeting TODAY
81 the subcommittee of the league Of
nations assembly designated 10 draft a
project of security and disarmament
either in substitution for or amendment
of the famous pact % mutual assistance
which now has been before the league
Of nations for three years.
The question of q urity IL definitely
lina ed i'm all minds with that Of arl,i-
tration. and the delegates are expert
encing considerable difficulty in drawing
~ any plan OF security without taking
into account the assembly's view on
arbitration.
Some Of the delegates urged today
that entire emphasis should be placed on
arbitration and security: others adyo-
Gated that the problem Of disarmament
should be given first place. Still Others
bell we'd that the arbitration and Sc
curity agreements should become ef-
fective only when the disarmament con-
ference j. held.
Evf ntually the French won the day.
That j. that any convention relating 10
arbitration and 50 urity would b. dis
tinct and separate. though il would be
clearly understood that when the powers
signed this convention they pledged
themselves 10 take part in disarma-
ment conference.

Another outstanding feature Of to-
