League they believed security results
could be attained best by a series
of conventions based on the arbi-

composed of the nations that we're
represented at the Leagues Pre-

time.
The United States, member of
the Preparatory Disarmament Com
mission. was absent as that nation
has made it known they consider
security largely a European prob
lem that European nations must
settle themselves.
