order to see that whatever arms limi-
tat!on program the projected dis
armament conference may agree upon

The mixed commission, which has
been sitting at Paris. has been dis
cussing the details Of the economic
phases of disarmament and will make
its report to a subcommittee of the
preparatory disarmament commission.
now sitting at Geneva. on which the
United States is represented.
The commission also adopted a
resolution saying that the question

luantS betten the states which sign
the eventual disarmament protocol.
= recommendation was made that all
states subscribing to the eventual
disarmament convention engaged to
publish the full amounts of their arms
expenditures of all categories.
The findings of the commission are
recommendations only and the United
States delegates TO the preparatory
disarmament commission will enjoy
