Special Ambassador Davis M a kes Announce
 ment at Geneva
AMERICAN DOCTRINE
 IS FULLY EXPLAINED
System of Control, Super vision of Armaments,
 Also Proposed

GENEVA, May 22. - The United States, through Spec ial Ambassador Norman H. Davis, told the delegates of the nations represented at the Disarmament Conference, that she will consult with them when peace is menaced if she agrees with them as to the identity of the ag- gressors.
 The United States will re- frain from any action of a nature to hinder collective efforts to restore peace.
 This doctrine of the United States, as given by Ambas- sador Davis, is considered in circles of the League of Ma tions as abandonment of Am erica's traditional policy of isolation.
 The delegates to the con- ference eagerly awaited the speech and the policy ex- pressed is taken to mean that when nations take punitive measures against an eggres- sor, the United States, if it agrees to the identity of the aggressor, will not insist on the rights of neutrality.
 Ambassador Davis also announc- ed the United States advocates a system of control and supervision of ornaments.
 The American Ambassador said the United States is ready to par ticipate in measures for control of armaments and also opposes any brusque revision of treaties.
 Territorial Status
 The American Ambassador urged maintenance of the territorial sta- tus quo He revealed that the United States defines an aggressor as one whose armed forces are found upon foreign territory in violation of treaties. He also an- nounced the United States is op- posed to rearmament of any nation and declared in favor of the aboli- ton of offensive arms.
 Peace Message Cited
 In concluding his speech, Am- bassador Davis said:
 President Roosevelt's peace mes- sage is clear indication of the fact the United States will exert full power and influence and will accept it's just share in the re- sponsibility. to make the results of disarmament definite, prompt and effective"
