D|SARM|NG SEEN
IN SECURITY MOVES
League Machinery made
quate, British Observer Tells
Politics Institute.
BY the Associated Press.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. August
1.-THE method now being adopted to
negotiate the European security pact
is more promising than any that has
vet appeared for the ultimate limita-
ton of armaments, Sir Frederick
Maurice of London said today at his
round table conference on the limita-
ton of armaments at the Institute of
Politics
"The present method is for the nego-
tiation by limited number of States
of one special problem--not the prob
lens of the whole world at one gulp-
and then the submission of the agree
ment to the -League of Nations he
said. THE best way to proceed is along
the lines of which France, Germany.
Belgium and Great Britain are pro-
ceeding today"
The League of Nations machinery
was said TO be defective because 1t
was virtually impossible in the as
semblys short annual sessions to dis
cover the flaws in a bill or treaty, to
make the necessary changes and to
secure a general agreement. Sir
Frederick recalled the reasons for
Great Britain declining to ratify the
protocol of 1924. which was ratified
by France and certain other nations
He pointed out that the desire of
IredI Britain IN regard TO security
agreements was for general guar
antee and that of France was for a
specific guarantee.
Proposes Dawes Commission"
A Dawes commission" for China
was proposed by c. c. .Batchelder,
former acting commercial attache in
that country, at the institute today
Speaking at the general conference
ION the recent foreign policy of the
United States" Mr.. Batchelder de-
clared that foreign assistance was
necessary together with the abolition
of extraterritoriality as soon as con-
ditions permitted.
There are some who advocate a
strong policy which might lead to the
landing Of troops, but public opinion
in the United States and Great Britain
would never support this and 1t would
not be successful" he said.
What is needed is a general or
ganiZation along modern lines, and
some experts advocate a so-called
Dawes commission for China, with
its duties purely plan of reorganiza-
ton. The chairman would be a
Chinaman and there would be great
advantage in requesting the former
members of the original Dawes Com

policy of not disclosing what has been

Silent on Agreement.
Whether any kind of a definite. ten
tative agreement between the two

matter on which the American COM

crecy. 1t was explained however, they
will 20 over the whole matter with
the Chief Executive.
Following the brief meeting this
morning between the two commits
sions the financial experts of the two
governments met to go over what was
described as disagreement over
some of the figures which lie as the
basis of the negotiations. The Ameri-
can and Belgian financial experts
may do considerable figuring, it was
intimated, before they will be able TO
clear up the differences. This. how
ever, was not considered a matter of
major Importance in the negotiations
or of such a nature to block the
parley.
While il is known definitely that
one meeting of the two commissions
has been postponed to allow the Bel

PARIS, August 1.-THE difficulties

officials, who are beginning to realize
that the mere fact that France is

not be enough.
So far the efforts of American news

FIRE LIMIT POWER
VESTED ENTIRELY IN
ZONE COMMISSION
New Building Code AboIishes
Old Restrictions on Frame
Dwellings.
PROCEDURE SIMPLIFIED
UNDER LATEST RULING
Periodic Meetings to Fix Line to
Meet City's Growth No
Longer Necessary.

Under the new building code re-
Gently adopted the old fire limits are
abolished and the question as 10
where frame structures may be built
will henceforth be regulated by the
Zoning Commission, it was explained
today by Maj. Raymond Wheeler.
executive officer of that commission.
The fire limit was a flexible boun-
dairy line drawn in a circle some
where between the center of the city
and the outlying suburbs. Frame
structures could only be built out
side this line.
Under the new arrangement, Maj.
Wheeler said, there is no fixed line
and frame construction is permitted
only in "A" and "A restricted" areas
under the coming regulations. This
means that all buildings in "B, &c"
or d areas of the coming system
must be of fire proof construction.
Object Practically Same.
Since "A" and "A restricted" areas
are confined almost entirely to sub
urban sections of detached and semi
detached homes, the object sought is
practically the same as when the fire
limit line existed. The "B" area is
LOT TO" houses. \ Is largely apart
ment houses and commercial establish
ments and ID is for industrial de-
Velopment.
Maj. Wheeler said the advantage of
the new rule is that it will be no
longer necessary for a committee of
District officials to meet from time to
time and make changes in the boun-
dary of the fire limits in order to keep
pace with the development of the city
A number of changes in the zoning
of pieces of property in different parts
of the city are expected 10 come up
for hearing in September as a result
OF the new method of dividing frame
and tfreprOof areas.
Apartment houses are permitted in
an "A area but Maj. Wheeler said
there is a separate regulation requir-
ing all apartment houses to be of fire
proof construction.
