RUSSIA LEADS THE WORLD
(From "The Nation

The way to disarm is to disarm. This was Mr.
Iitvinov's bold challenge to the governments of
the world assembled in the Disarmament Confer
ence at Geneva He dared them to wipe out ar
mics and navies and air forces; to destroy all wea
pons, fortresses, military supplies, and all means
of chemical warfare; to end forever all military
training, and military ministries and general
staffs; to prohibit military propaganda and mill
tary education. In other words, he proposed a
clean sweep of the whole damnable, murderous
business of teaching and preparing human beings
