paratory TO the new meeting on dis
armament Is Lord Cushenden's state
ment that Great Britain has great in

TO any state which is a victim OF ag-
gression under the League covenant.
It Is believed Great Britain's new
emphasis on this point arises from the
doubts which exist regarding the event.

Great Britafn's great weapon here
iofore has been the naval economic
blockade. But Great Britain, above all
else. desires 10 avoid trouble with the
United States. II the United States
should remain neutral In case OF a
league war against an aggresSor and
should use It's Navy 10 convoy merchant
ships. thus breaking the blockade,
serious trouble might arise.
The British, therefore. tend 10 re-
serve use of the naval blockade and TO

The meeting Of the security COM

the end OF all efforts u conclude a
general non-aggression pact on the
model of the cefunct Geneva protocol.
The present movement Is aimed
wholly In the direction Of regional

An attempt will be made To draft
