ARMS PARLEY CALL
u S. PREROGATNE
Chamberlain Tells Commons
That Invitation Should
Come From Washington.
By the Associated Press.

by Lne AssOcldted ffess.
LONDON. June 254-Foreign Secre-
tary Chamberlain's declaration that
Great Britain would join with the
other great powers in further limit
ing naval ornaments or reducing land
forces, and his intimation that the
initiative for the naval conference
should come from the United States
were regarded today g the features
of his statement in the House of
Commons last night during the de-
bate on the security pact.
The initiative in calling any inter
national gathering to consider re-
duction of land armamentS, he said,
might properly come from either the
United States or Great Britain, both
of whom had already reduced their
land forces ito a scale no larger than
police for the interests which we
have to guard"
AS regards a naval conference. the
invitation might better come from
the United States, as that power had
been responsible for summoning the
Washington conference, which re-
suited in the first internationa
agreement for limitation of arma-
ments the world had ever seen.
Must AlIay Fears, He Says.
Parliamentary support of the pro-
posed security pact to guarantee the
frontiers between Germany, France
and Belgium on the ground that It
would dispel fear and be a great step
toward peace and disarment.
Fear dominates the whole posi-
tion of the world and the attitude of
every country" he said Every
where, among the conquerors no less
than the conquered. there is the
psychology of the vanquished. The
British government is trying TO find
a way out of this impasse"
No unilateral pact of guarantee
among the allies against Germany
could be contemplated. he added de-
clarinS: THE new pact must be
mutual among the powers whose past
differences provoked war, to main
tain peace in the future and to avoid
recourse to war"
The newspaper commentators this
morning take the view that the com.
mons debate on security has removed
certain doubts and fears which previ-
ouSly troubled the public mind re
garding the European peace problem
The Times remarks that the debate
was in accordance with the best ira.
ditions of the House, rising above
mere party controversy.
While the anti-government press
insists that some obscurities still re.
main and that the question of the
British obligations must be watched
closely, no disposition is manifesto ed
in this quarter 10 haraSs to gov.
ernment in its delicate task of seek
ing an ultimate agreement.
On the whole, in view of this re
ception of the debate, the security
proposal seems to have received a
favorable push, in the direction OF
parliamentary adoption.
