:. NEW YORK, March 23.-Norman H.
Davis, special ambassador on dis
armament and world economics, sailed
for Europe last night, saying mo nation
sibility for failure" of the Disarma-
ment Conference at Geneva.
While asserting he carried no con-
crete plan, Davis said it was "the duty
and in the interest Of every nation to
contribute to a constructive solution"
of what he termed the widespread
economic and political instability ex-
1sting today.
VIII See British Ofiicials.
Davis, who plans to call on British
officials in London before proceeding
to Geneva by way Of Paris, was &C.
companied by Allen Dulles Of New York,
his legal adviser.
Shortly before sailing on the liner
Manhattan he issued prepared state
lnent, saying:
There is nothing for me to add to
what has been said in Washington as
to the purpose Of my mission to Europe.
1.-THE necessity for orderly economic
and military disarmament by concerted
International actisn becomes more ap-
parent each day. The widespread eco
nomic and political instability that ex-
lists today affects the welfare of all
nations. It is, therefore, the duty and
in the interest of every nation to con-
tribute to constructive solution. This
leads us to hope that 1t may be posi-
bic to formulate and agree upon more
definite measures for reducing the bur-
den and menace of ornaments and
likewise for removing the most harmful
restrictions to trade.
No Concrete Plan.
"Such a program is essential to re-
covery from the worldwide depression.
I do not carry with me any concrete
plan. 1t is my intention to study the
situation In Europe in the light Of the
most recent developments, keeping
closely in touch with the administration
in the hope that the United States may
exercise an inflence that will be helpful
to ourselves, as well as to others. II
the major problems that confront the
world as a whole are to be solved, 1t is
necessary for all concerned to rise above
prejudices and technicalities and to
make decisions on broad-gauged lines.
&. THE success OF the Disarmament
: Conference Is one phase, but vital
. one, of the task that lies ahead Of us.
It touches our civilization so deeply that

moral responsibility for failure"

New Job Result of Damage to
; Greens by Birds Seeking
Food,

The United States park police find
themselves with . new problem on their
hands -1caring sea gulls away from golf
greens tn East Potomac Park.
Hastily summoned yesterday by park
authorities, who accuse the gulls of
damaging the golf green's In swooping
down for food, the police frightened
away the birds for . time by firing
cartridges into the ground. How ef-
fective this method will be Is prob
lematical to police.
Park division officials believe the In
clement weather at sea has driven the
gulls inland. The recent heavy rains
in the National Capital have caused
the worms to come to the surface.
The gulls see grand opportunity for
food, and swoop down ON the greens,
taking slices Of earth away with them,
