AMERICA INVITED
 ID GENEVA FARLEY
Russia and Germany Likewise Asked to Disarmament Sessions
WASHINGTON IS SILENT
White House Making Careful Study of Invitation For U. s. to Partici- pate In Work of Special Commis- sion.

Geneva, Switzerland, Dec, 8 Fs- The League Of Nations council to- day decided to invite the United States, Russia and Germany to par ticipate in the work of the special commission which is to prepare for an international disarmament con- ference.
 Franco British Problems.
 The council, in private session. discussed the program of disarma- ment study outlined by the disarma- ment (council No. 2), seeking means of composing the differences between France and England on the question of tying up the subject of mutual as- sistance In the event of war with that if disarmament.
 The matters on which the disarm- ament council Is in accord cover a wide scope, inluding definition of the military, economic and geographical elements upon which the power of country depends in war time.
 Armamcnts Discussion.
 
 After arranging for an examin- ation of peace time military, naval and aerial arrangemen methods Of recruiting and of military instruction and organizations capable of mili- tary usefulness, the council asked the proposed preparatory commis- sion whether 1t Is possible to limit eventual war armaments or whether the study should be restricted to peace ornaments.
 It wants to know what difference exists between defensive and Of fensive armaments: whether 1t is possible 10 distinguish between com- mercal and military airplanes and if so how the military value Of con- mercial planes can be estimated in reckoning the strength of air forces.
 Similarly 1t asks what value should be accorded to commercial ships in appraising total naval forces.
 Regional Disarmament
 Finally the preparatory commis-  sion will be asked to decide how far regional disarnaments can be real ized once regional security Is at tained. or whether all plans for dis- armament are doomed to failure un- less they are of q general nature.
 The decision, which was reached in secret session, was not announced officially, as difficulty has arisen in agreeing upon the European states, members of the league but not of the council, who will be invited to participate.
 These are almost certain 10 in clude Finland, Holland, Poland and Jugo Slavia. But there is some doubt whether Rumania and Bull garia will be added. The plan to invite Argentina and Chile has been temporarily abandoned. The req son assigned for this Is that the commission will concentrate Its ear ly efforts upon European disarma- mcnt; hence the Latin American membership of Brazll and Uruguay is deemed sufficient at present.
