BITTER FEUDS
CLOUD AIM OF
ARMS FARLEY
Old RivaIrieS Add Tension
to Coming World
Peace Meet.
This Is the final article Of series on
the coming disarmament conference.
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD
United Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The po-
litical problems, which have vexed
the world since the Versailles treaty
remsde the map Of Europe, must
be solved, in part, at least, before
the world can abandon its arms, OBJ
servers here believe.
Regardless Of the success of
technical experts in working out
reduction formulas for Use at the
proposed world disarmament con-
ference in 1882, these will be futile
unless there IS q, will to peace.
Broadly viewed, the creation Of
a lasting peace rests on a three
fold formula: Security, disarma-
ment, arbitration.
Without security, say France and
some other counties, there can be
no disarmament. In other quarters,
the reverse of this is quoted: With
out disarmament there can be no
security.
Agree With French
Some statesmen, agreeing with
the French thesis, believe security
and later disarmament, can be
achieved by treaties binding the
nations to consult in the event of
trouble.
France sought such an agreement
at the London naval conference.
The United States SHE'D at the pro-
posal, holding it implied the use
Of force by the signatory nations.
Administration quarters have in
dicated this country might enter
such an agreement if it were clearly
stated the obligation was only to
consult, not to fight.
Thus far, no such pact is in
sight
Taking a practical view Of the
coming conference, observers point
to a number Of danger points on the
European map.
First, there is the Polish corridor.
Under the postwar settlements, Po-
land was given a long strip Of ter
ritory through Germany in order to
reach the sea.
This grant cuts off East Prussia
from the rest Of Germany.
Sees Bright Side
The p1inorities problem in Yugo-
Slavia and Czecho-Slovakia, new
nations carved out of the old Aus
tro-Hungarian empire, is another
source Of friction.
There is tension between France
and Italy. This is caused not only
by naval rivalry, but by apparently
conflicting aims in North Africa and
by Italian resentment over anti
Fascist plots Matched in France by
ex-patriots.
Finally, there come rumors, yet
unconflrned, of new European
combinations which may divide Eu-
rope into two armed camps, as did
the Triple Alliance and the Triple
Entente.
On the brighter side of the pic
ture, American observers see vast
improvement in the attitude of ma
tions toward each other around the
council tables at Geneva. They find
room for optimism too, in the fact
that the three largest naval powers
apparently have abandoned COM

husband. Seeing him causes her
to realize that he is right and she
is wrong but he evades her and
she is compelled to seek him III
