The league people explain that the small arms traders have generally nothing to fear, yet admit that certain forms of revolvers and certain types of combat swords fall in the categaries of arms to be subject to control if the draft convention as prepared goes through without marked changes. Experts spent weeks in classifying arms and deciding what types should be subject to restriétions. Three cate- Bories were arranged. The first includes arms and muni- tions which' are exclusively designed for war on land, on sea or in the air. Thus the Spanish pistolmaker’s profuct may be subject to control when sold in foreign lands, if he is manufacturing revolvers of large cali- ber. And the German swordmaker may have basis for fear if he is turn ting out bayonets, swords for war use | and-lances.
