U. S. Wants Peace

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-In the
face of Germany's withdrawal from
the disarmament conference and the
bleak outlook at Geneva, the state
department was determined today to
press forward toward agreement on
an arms limitation treaty.
RealiStS in the department adj
mitted, however, that there was lit
tie prospect of writing a disarm-
ament treaty that meant anything
without Germany's signature.
Because of the critical situation
in Europe, Secretary Cordell Hull
spent a large part of yesterday at
the state department studying diplo-
matte reports from Geneva and
Berlin.
The secretary, however, did not
add to his comment of Saturday,
that Germany's action had stalled
present disarmament efforts and
was a bitter disappointment to
him. Hull has been intent on
bringing a treaty from the chaos
in Geneva and feels deeply grieved
at the turn events have taken.
