holds that "it should put Americans on

A considerable degree q optimim is
required 10 support the hope that
tangible results are sttll within she
realm Of the attainsbls In Geneva.
That they cannot bs achieved in the

has just laid down the definite eondi-
tion that she viii not renew dlsAfma.
ment discussions until guaranteed In
advance that she would b treated
unequivocally on terms Of equality
the rock on which proceedings recently
went to smash. The Reich, moreover,
is not likely to commit itself to any
program pending the plebiscite which
is to be held on November IL, and
from which 1t may confidently be ex-
pected the Hitler government will
emerge with q vote Of confidence de-
signed to leave no doubt that the
chancellor's regime speaks and acts In
the name Of a united German people.
As it must be clear to French, British
and italian leaders that some sort OF
concessions to the Germans Is impera-
tive II the disarmament deadlock Is to
be broken, 1t must be presumed-takins
Europe's sincerity in the matter for
granted-that careful heart-searching
on that score Is now In progress. It
is an encouraging sign that the gem
eral situation Is visibly less strained
than it was when Germany's action
filled the whole world with alarm. od
October II.
In broadcast to this country yester-
day from London, Viscount Cecil Of
Chelwood, a sincere and indefatigable
proponent OF disarmament, said that
the Geneva Conference must go on
| until we get disarmament convention
fair to all parties, including the Ger
mans" It must be acknowledged, Wis
| count Cecil added, that equality ought
| to be given to the Reich and treaty
formulated which will show Germany
that the rules governing her arma-
ments are the same in principle rs
those governing the armament of any
other civilized power.
Unless world craftsmanship has gone
completely bankrupt, it should not be
beyond its will or its wit to evolve q
! basis for disarmament agreement. The
American people, continuously anxious
to do their part, will hope to the last
that Geneva, however black the out
look at the moment, will yet find
| the way.
