cred much momentum"
His address was directed to the ex-
perts gathered to determine whether
hope yet remains for an international
control Of arms.
There was q soberneSs about the
delegates gathering for the opening
meeting today that bespoke the dim
culties they foresaw In obtaining any
arms limitation convention.
Chief among these difficulties was
the problem offered by Soviet Russia
and Japan, glowering at one another
IN the Far East. The former never

Nearer the green council tables Of

such an agreement. permitting the
Soviet Unicn to rearm without re-
straint in Asiatic Russia because of
the possibility Of Japan's refusing to
sign an accord. Under this plan,
moderate" German rearmament
would be legahzed.
The United States played the role
of an observer, with Hugh r. Wilson,
American Minister to Switzerland,
sitting in on committee sessions in
that capacity.
The word was passed around that
Mr.. Wilson was acting without any
new instructions from Washington.

Nevertheless, the Minister conferred
with both Arthur Henderson, British
president of the conference, and
Naotake Sato. Japanese Ambassador
to Paris, in Geneva for the duration
Of the meetings.
Mr.. Henderson, in a preliminary re-
port, recommended a system Of guar
antees authorizing a Permanent Dis
armament Commission to take what
ever steps 1t should deem justified in
cases of breaches Of the convention.
He said the nations seemed particu-
larly concerned regarding the neces-
sity Of adequate guarantees for loyal
execution Of q disarmament pact, but
that there was q marked difference
of opinion concerning how they should

After talks with leaders In Belgium,
Louis Barthou, French foreign min

Of the necessity of signing an arms
convention to prevent an armaments

1t also was reported that France
hopes to provide for collective pres
