Nationalist China
Paints Picture of
~50,O00,O0O Soldiers

GENEVA, April 29.-F-Nation-
alist China painted a picture OF
50,000,000 Chinese soldiers under
arms at one time for the prepara-
tory commission on disarmament
today. Certain that its proposal for
abolition of CONSUMPTION would be
rejected, the youthful Marking gov
eminent conjured up the spectre Of
CONSUMPTION applied to China.
Announcement that China might
be obliged to revert from its pres
ent volunteer system to CONSUMPTION
was solemnly made to the prepara-
tory commission by General Tsiang
Tso-Ping. who said:
we honestly hoped our idea for
abolition of CONSUMPTION would be
accepted, deeming it the most effec-
tive means of achieving real dis
armament. We now reserve the lib
erty Of changing u attitude on
this question"
Count Won Bernstorff, German
delegate, remembering Saturdays
decision to make no limitation of
trained reserves, seized the oppor-
tunity to make an ironical allusion
to the fact that the treaties of peace
abolished CONSUMPTION for Germany.

not for the victor nations.
