FARLEY DRAWS
SHARP ATTACK
BY w. G. T. u.
By STEWART BROWN
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


GENEVA, May 29.--The disarm-
ament conference appeared head
ed for bitter fight today on the
question of adjournment until con-
clusion of the world economic con-
ference at London.
Newspaper reports from Wash
ington today said President Roose-
welt opposed adjournment unless an
agreement were reached on dis
armament before June II, the day
the world conference is scheduled
to meet.
League of Nations headquarters
buzzed with excited discussion OF
the reports at once.
Norman H. Davis. chief United
States delegate, conferred with Jo-
seph Paul Boncour, French foreign
minister just back from Paris, where
he had weekend consultation
with his government on the tang
led disarmament and Mussolini
peace treaty situations.
Davis was believed to have urged
Boncour to announce at the ear
liest moment the extent of the re-
ductionS to whicn France would
agree, SO that agreements might be
reached before the world confer
ence.
The conferees who set to work so
blithely a few days ago to pull the
disarmament conference out of the
morass in which it had been foun-
dering, found themselves today
back in the morass again.
With the ink hardly dry on Pre-
sident Roosevelt's letter to the
world, urging disarmament and
economic cooperation, the confer
ence is at odds on many points.
All Have Demands
Japan has demanded the scrap
ping of the Washington and Lon
don naval treaties, so she may at
tain parity, or virtual parity with
the United States and Great Brit
ain.
Britain, desiring to use the ter
rifying crash of aerial bombs to
keep tribesmen in her far extend
ed colonies and protectorates in Or
der at the smallest possible cost,
has refused the United States sug-
gestion that all aerial bombing be
forbidden.
Offers made by France have been
so qualified as to be unacceptable
to other nations because in return
France has asked guarantees to
which other nations would not ac-
cede.
Thus the situation was that to
each offer made by country, other
countries had alternatives which
clashed with them, and agreement
seemed far away.
