PROTECTIVE ISSUE
RA|SEDAT GENEVA
Britain Opposes Pledge of
Aid Against Aggressor States
as Price of Disarming.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, December IA contro
versy deemed of immense importance
10 the future of the League of Ma
tons has developed in the league dis
armament council. which is laying the
foundation of an eventual interna
tional conference on disarmament, &c
which the United States, as well as
Russia, will be invited.
France and Belgium are insisting
that the proposed special commission
which will prepare the agenda for the
conference should study the possibility
of devising a plan for making more
precise the obligations of the member
states to render assistance to the
league when any state has resorted
TO war in defense of the league COW
enant.
This brings in Article XVI of the
covenant, which endangered the Lo-
carno conference before Germany re-
ceived practical assurance that her
especially weakened armament posi-
tion would he taken into account in
case Germany, as a member of the
league should be called upon to help
in the imposition of penalties on any
aggreSsOr state.
Great Britain. represented by Lord
Cecil, is opposed to launching into
such q study. believing that the COW
enant should be allowed to remain as
it is, and that it is unWise to make
disarmament contingent upon the
working out of the precise obligations
of states in the event of war.
France and Belgium contend that
disarmament will be difficult of at
tainment if certain countries, once
diSarmed. cannot count on definite
support from the league in case they
are attacked, and believe that this
support should be as powerful as any
forces which the warmaking country
could possibly throw againat them
Hence, they argue. comes the neces
sity of devising plan whereby the
states would be more definitely com
mitted to granting assistance than is
provided for in Article XVI.
What the Article Provides.
This article provides for economic
and financial measures against an ag-
greSSor state. but merely gives the
council the right to recommend to the
governments what military, naval and
air forces they should supply the
league for protection of the league
covenants. France and Belgium be-
cesSfully defy economic and financial
sanctions, and that a precise military
plan. which would be obligatory,
should at least be studied.
This would bring matters Il step
farther than was even stipulated by
the Geneva peace protocol, which Eng
land rejected, for the protocol merely
authorized the council to receive un-
dertakings in advance from states as
to what military and naval forces they
would he able to contribute to the
operation OF the league penalties.
AS during he protocol discussion,
so now does England object to bind
ing herself in advance as to what she
can Concretely do in the event of an
outbreak of hoStilitieS among league
members. Another meeting of the dis
armament council will be held today
in an endeavor to reach an agreement.
