WORLD D|SARM|NG
URGED BY SOVIET
War Worse Than Last One
Is Likely Otherwise,
Litvinoff Warns.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, February 11-Maxim Lit
vinoff, commissar for foreign affairs
for Soviet Russia, proposed total and
universal disarmament to the World
Disarmament Conference today as the
only valid security against war.
M. Litvinoff, chief Of the Russian
delegation to the conference, forecast
the approach of another world war,
which, he predicted, would be more
terrible than the last, unless disarma-
ment Is achieved.
His plan for total disarmament of
the world, he admitted frankly to the
delegates. would prebably have slight
chance Of acceptance by the great pow
ers and, as an alternative, he offered
a second project for progressive and
proportional disarmament. Then, to
the surprise of many Of the delegates
he assured the conference his govern
ment was ready to consider any pro-
posal likely to achieve arms reduction.
Rejects French Proposal
In international quarters the Soviet
declaration was credited with being
marked bv moderation and as likely to
increase the possibility OF success for the
conference.
He rejected the French proposal for
an international armed police force un-
der the supervision of the League Of
Nations after long analysis Of the
proposal. 1t would be unworkable, he
said.
What guarantee is there" he asked.
that the new international organization
would be really able or willing to use
its strength tor the defense OF the
weaker nation or for the protection OF
the attacked against the attacker?"
His plan for proportional disarma-
ment included an adjustment of the
percentages Of arms reduction so as to
give equal security to weaker and more
exposed countries.
NJ Litvinof was cheered as he mount
ed the rostrum and a moderate volume
of applause followed the conclusion Of
his speech. This applause was given
despite the fact that signs were posted
for the first time today forbidding the
delegates to applaud speakers.
Says Soviet Has One Aim.
"The sole aim of the Soviet govern
ment,'' Litvinoff said, 'is building up
Socialism in the Soviet Union. In the
face Of the successful accomplishment
of cur five-year plan, which includes
colossal achievements in every sphere
of economic life. it seems to the Soviet
delegation that what has been obvious
from the beginning must now be
clear as daylight to all and sundry
That the Soviet requires neither in
crease of territory nor interference in
the affairs of other nations to achieve
its aim. 1t could, therefore, do without
an army, navy or military aviation
or all other forms Of armed forces.
"The Soviet government. however
does require assurance that there will
be attempt against Soviet territory
either. and that all other states will
not interfere with its internal affairs
and that Its peaceful economic con.
struction will not be tampered with
from without. It will only feel this
assurance If other states also agree to
give up their armed forces"
M. Litvinoff said he foresaw the rapid
approach of a new armed conflict, pro-

bombing, said it was obviously an
