DECLlNESREQUEST
5,'TO:SEND OBSERVER
~"
U. S. Turns Down Invitation
of Geneva Security
Conference.

The Washington Government will
decline the invitation, extended in
Geneva yesterday, to send an observer
to the security conference.
This decision was made public at
the State Department today after a
communication from Minister Hugh
Wilson transmitting the invitation had
been received.
The refusal is in line with the Gov
ernment's decision not to participate
In the conference.
It Is assumed that proceedings of
the security conference will be avail.
able as a matter of information to
the members of the preparatory dis
armament commission, upon which
the United States will continue to be
fully represented.
This interchange of information be-
tween the two elements of the ma.
chinery being created to deal with
disarmament, make it unnecessary, in
the judgment of some informed Wash
ington officials, that any American
observer be assigned to the security
conference.
The department said that American
participation in the work of the Pre-.
paratory Commission on Disarmament
now in session in Geneva, would con.
tinue and that the Washington Gov.
ernment would attend any interna.
tional conference for limitation of arm.
aments which might be the outgrowth
of the work of the Preparatory Com.
mission. f~
1t was emphasized that the Wash.
ington administration feels 1t would
be useless to participate in the secur.
ity discussions, because no commit.
ments on the part of the United States
to enforce security agreements were
possible.
