FUTURE Of PARLEY
D|STURBS LEAGUE
Entente Spokesman Forecast
Death of MussoIini's
Four.PoWer Pact.
BY the Associated Press.

by Inc ASSOCldteu EIoSS
GENEVA, October 14.-Statesmen
gathered here with the fundamental
aim Of consolidating peace asked them
selves anxiously today along what road
Germany's withdrawal from the League
of Nations and the Disarmament Con-
ference would lead them.
Openly the words, "let Germany 60;
we shall get along without her." were
heard, but secretly the world leaders in
Geneva were seriously disturbed for the
future.
Many of them expressed profound dis
may that Germany dropped from the
arms conference, from which some
quarters expressed a hope for q solemn
and sacred treaty to tighten the fabric
of peace, restore world confidence, and
terminate a costly armament race.
Henderson Calls Meeting.
Arthur Henderson, president Of the
Disarmament Conference, called q meet
ing of American, British, French and
italian representatives for tomorrow to
discuss the SITUATION.
Spokesman for the little entente ma
tions and Poland, who never favored
wholehoertedly the four power Western
European peace pact inspired by Premier
Mussolini, forecast that the Reich's two
fold decision would mean the death OF
that accord.
They argued that even Italy, which
today almost uneQuivocally backed other
powers, including the United States, In
saying there shall be no rearmament In
Germany, may find it difficult to col
laborate with Germany as q signatory
Of the four-power agreement.
They thought the French confidence
in the pact would be destroyed and
that British confidence therein would
be shaken.
Tentative suggestions for the future
Of the Disarmament Conference, which
was called for a meeting next Monday,
were varied.
Many delegates believed the parley
should 90 ahead, and at least draw up
set of disarmament principles to which
Germany could subscribe later II she
changed her mind.
Others Favor Open Door.
Others, however, expressed the view
that the door should be left wide open
for German participation In any solu-
ton to the arms problem.
Everybody agreed that the confer
ence must meet Monday.
Events today, which were forecast by
some persons yesterday, put every dele
cation on its guard from both political
and military standpoints.
Because Of rumors that Germany has

Reich Described as

Case of Invasion.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.


The American Government yes
terday threw all the weight Of its
moral power in a last endeavor to
save the Limitation of Arms Con-
ference from impending disaster.
Secretary Hull in a statement
to the press did not hesitate to
throw the blame for failure Of the
conference on Germany.
In answer to inquiries regarding Ger
many's withdrawal from the League OF
Nations and the Disarmament Con-
ference, the Secretary Of State said
America had striven wholeheartedly
and unremittingly to support the gen
eral disarmament and had practiced
and encouraged q spirit of team work
in every way feasible. The reported
action of the German government,
Secretary Hull added, naturally slows
down, impedes and halts the disarma-
ment movement. The United States
1t was said, is seriously disappointed
and regrets the development.
Causes Sensation.
This statement, which the Secretary
OF State permitted to be attributed to
him, caused . profound sensation and
confirms the reports from Geneva that
Ambassador at Large Davis had lent
his full support to the British and the
French delegates with view to achiev-
ing some final agreement at Geneva
despite the fact that 1t was known the
Germans would balk II 1t appeared the
principal world powers tried to force
them to accept an agreement whereby
they would not be permitted to possess
ample armamcnts for q period Of four
years. Durin. this time the other ma
tions were not supposed to reduce any
Of their present ornaments.
While Secretary Hull made this state
ment in Washington, Ambassador al
Large Norman H. Davis at Geneva
adopted similar attitude by declaring
IN the name Of the American Govern
ment that the Disarmament Confer
ence could not properly be made an In
stru1nent for rearmament" and that
should primarily be sought through q
reduction in the armaments of the
heavily armed powers and not through
acts on the part Of others to attempt
to build up."
Contradicting the German assertion
that while Germany Is forced to re-
main disarmed the victorious nations
which have dictated the Versailles
treaty had not done anything to pro-
mote disarmament. Davis declared him.
self more than ever convinced of the
sincere purpose of the heavily armed
countries to make effective measures OF
disarmament a reality"
Blunt Request Pressed.
It Is true Ambassador Davis, en-
deavored, during the last few days, to
tone down the British proposition so as to
make 1t more palatable to the Germans.
But Sir John Simon, the British For
eign Secretary, believed in calling a

The worlds reaction to Germany's
decision to leave the League Of Ma

follows:
PARIS-1t's the "gravest news in
20 years" said government cpokes-
man. I'VE were much surprised but
not upset." said the foreign office.
Confident that right and might Is
hers, France feels safe.
TOKIO-Japan, watching the Dis
armament Conference from the side
lines, expressed no regrets at the
prospect of failure at Geneva. An
army spokesman said: "It's easy for
Japan to sympathize with Germany's
demand for arms equality with oc-
cidental powers"
GENEVA-Outwardly was heard:
Let Germany 60, we'll get along
without her. Inwardly the powers
were seriously disturbed, wondering:

LONDON-Primc Minister Mac

tude: To keep hotheads from rock

WASHINGTON - Secretary OF
State Hull "slruddered" to contem-

declared. IS an impeachment.

ton of Mussolini's four power peace
