DOMINANCE
CURBED AT PARLEY
Henderson Named President

Arms Conference. -
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED fTess.
GENEVA, February -Organizs-
tion today of the Constituent Commits
sions of the World Disarmament Cons
ference greatly magnified the impor-
tance of the role of Arthur Henderson,
and thereby placed a curb on the
dominance of France.
Mr.. Henderson was elected president
of the political commission. which was
formed on the insistence of Premier
Andre Tardieu of France for the puT-
pose of considering the French security
proposals and other political questions,
The former British foreign secretary
won out over Frances candidate, Nicho-
las TituleScu of Rumania.
The American delegate took a leading
part in this choice and the Americans
had a hand in electing delegates OF
four neutral" states to head the mill
tary and naval commissions.
Mr.. Henderson, who always has been
severe critic of the French thesis, now
is president of the conference and its
three major organs. ..-T
After he had been chosen president
of the conference, the French delegates
sought to place great authority in the
conference bureau and then the Briton
was chosen to head this organization.
Subsequently the French delegates, over
the protest of the Americans. succeeded
in dep~iving the bureau of what has
been expected would be its dominant
role.
Refuting reports that his health was
about to force his retirement Mr. Hen
derson asserted he was growing stronger
daily. If it became necessary for him
to retire. Nicholas Pqlitis of Greece-arl
ally of France-would be left as chair
man of both the general and the politi-
cal commissions.
