Crisis in International Con.

America Resented Influence

Geneva May l8-The crisis in the
international conference for the con.
troll of traffic in arms in munitions
which was created by Americas
refusal to have the league of ma
tion's council appoint the central Of
flee for arms control was advertis-
ed today by decision to abandon
the plan to establish the proposed
central bureau.
Representative Burton addressing
a special committee insisted that the
bureau should not be connected with
the league. Virtually all of the
other ten countries represented on
the committee adhered to the idea
that no central international bureau
should be established unless placed
under the leagues jurisdiction.
Confronting this impenetrable
wall, the committee decided the con-
ciliatory thing to do was to make
progress by marching around it
Therefore on motion NJ. Lange, Nor
way, the committee unanimously de-
cided that in its judgment. the cen
trail office or bureau in the form
previously proposed is not essential
and that the same end can be OBJ
tanned by allowing each government
to publish arms statistics.
One Of the outstanding features of
the Geneva deliberations is the do
minant role played in the back
ground by the American senate. All
the delegates realize that if the
Geneva convention is to have any
force whatsoever it must be framed
so as to be practically certain of
Endorsement by the American par
liamentary body, whose function is
the ratification Of treaties. This
feeling was so strong in delegation
circles last night that the opinion
prevailed that way would be found
to solve the question Of central
arms traffic board without linking
the board with the council Of the
League of Nations, as provided in
the draft convention.
The conference was virtually halt
ed until this issue had been settled.
