SECURITY CRUX
Of GENEVA
FARLEY
Definition of Term Hardest
Problem Facing League,
Says Macdonald
By DAVID nj. CHURCH.
International News service.

Copyright, 1924, by International
News service.1
LONDON, Sept. 1.-The biggest
question to be decided at Geneva is
defining the term security" so that
q world conference can be sum-
moned to treat of security and dis
armament simultaneously, declared
Premier Ramsay Macdonald today
as he departed to attend the League
of Nations meeting.
1.-THE first thing to do at Geneva
is to define security in plain terms"
Macdonald declared in a special
Statement to International News
Service. 1T Is no use to employ
vague expressions such as security
which might mean different things
to different peoples and build up
from that false foundation.
THE security Of nation is not
necessarily threatened from the
outside. know many nations
today whose in ternal policy
threatens their own security and
does not depend upon the vileness
of their neighbors."
Arbitration Surest.
"If you build up such a founda-
ton your work comes to naught.
In the meantime, If possible, we
should go forward by means of
arbitration which Is the surest
method under present conditions.
I'm ten years time, II you build
upon such conditions as now exist
you will have people arming to
the teeth as the only means Of
keeping the peace. 1t is clear that
definition of the word security Is
requisite for any real, lasting solu-
ton of the problem.
Proportional or total disarma-
ment can never be had In the
truest and fullest measure until
you have a world conference dis
cussing the subject from a single
point of view with the term Sc
curity clearly defined before you
begin their work.
League Important.
IT feel very keenly the impor.
lance Of the league. I decided to
go to Genva not for the purpose
Of making speeches although 1
probably win have something to
say, but for the purpose to try to
demonstrate by my presence how
much confidence l have myself In
the league.
Il have all along worked for the
principle of arbitration and against
any pact OF mutual assistance"
Owing to the refusal of the
United States to participate in the
sessions Of the Third committee of
the league for the drafting of a
disarmament treaty. Premier Mac
Donald feels that an international
conference will be necessary.
The premier is going to. Geneva
to urge that a world conference be
called after the ground work has
been laid for it by the league.

For this reason it is of paramount

Probably the newspaper business is

We are more interested in publish
