GIVEN FORMAL BID TO AID IN ARMS CUT DISCUSSIONS direct and related phase of land, sea and air armaments is to be studied by the commission, making it clear that if an American delegation attends the sessions it must take with it ‘a large technical staff of military and civillan experts. Subjects to Be Discussed. Specifically mentioned In the invita- tion are the following subjects to be discussed by the preparatory commis- upon which the war power of a_country depends. Whether ultimate war strength or peace strength should be considered in applying disarmament measures. Various forms of limitation of land, sea and air forces; hence, relative ad- vantages and disadvantages of each form Possible /standards of armament of one country against that of another. Possibility of ascertaining whether a country is armed purely for defense or in a spirit of aggression. Principles under which a relative scale of armaiments might be drawn considering such factors as popu- resources, geographical _situ- ation, communications, vulnerability of trontiers and delays necessary to convert peace armaments to war footing. Possibllity of distinguishing between military and civillan aviation. Estimation of military value of com- mereial fleets. Relation between regional security and disarmament and between region- al and general disarmament. The invitation, bearing the signa- ture of M. Scialoja, acting president of the league council, declared the puncil believes that the time has c for studying the practical pos; sibilitles of the reductlon and lim: itation of armaments under the guid- ance and responsibility of the gov- ernments.” It expressed the hope that “at the moment when all the nations of the world are conscious of a common need, it will be able to count on the full and direct co-operation of the Government of the United States for a work which so closely concerns the peace of the world.” The text of the invitation follows: “In the name of the Council of the League of Nations, I have the honor to invite the Government of the United States to send representatives to sit on the preparatory commission for the disarmament conference, which has been set up by the council by a dect- sion of today's date, and which is to meet in Geneva on February 15, 1926. “Particulars regarding composition and working of this commission are to be found in a document inclosed with this letter. The following na- tions, in addition to the states mem- bers of the council, will be invited to send representatves to the prepara- tory commission: Bulgaria, Finland, etherlands, Poland, Ruma- nia, Servia and Soviet Russia. Experts Will Be at Hand. “The commission will have at its disposition the advice of the technical (military and civilian) organizations of the league as well as that of any other qualificd authorities which in the opin- fon of the commission it may be ad- visable to consult on any of the syb- jects which may come under its con- sideration. “Its task will consist of the prepara- tion of a conference for disarmament, which it is intended to call together at the earliest possible date. Its de- liberations will be directed to such matters as the various factors upon which the power of & country in time of war depends; the quesfion whether it is practicable to limit the ultimate war strength of a country or whether measures of disarmament should be confined to the peace strength; the various forms which reduction or limi- tation may take in case of land, sea, and air forces hence relative advan: tages or disadvantages of each of these different forms; the standards by which it 18 possible to measure the armament of one country against the armaments of another; the possibility of ascertalning that the armed force of a country is organized for purely defensive purposes or on the contrary in a spirit of aggression; the princi- ples on which it may be possible to draw up a scale of armaments for the various countries and the factors which may enter into the establish- ment of such principles—such as pop- ulation, resources, geographical situ- ation, comunications, Vulnerability of frontiers, delays that are necessary in order to transform peace armaments into war armaments; degree of se- curity, etc.; the criteria, if any by which it may be possible to distin- guish between civil and military ar- craft; tbe estimation of the military value of commerce and navigation fleets; the relation between regional security and regional disarmament and between regional disarmament and general disarmament. The full particulars as to the program of the prewpntory commission will be found in & document inclosed with this letter. “AH Nations’ Help Needed. “As a result of the long and continu ous study which it has devoted 1o this question, the council is unani. mously of the opinion that, owing to the political, economic and technical complexity of the problem which it raises, the question of disarmament can hardly be approached with any certain hope of complete solution un- and with the co-operation of all na- The matters for examination upon all the aspects of the question and affect the interests of all nations of the world; and the methods and justification for dealing with them should, in the council's opinion, be not less universal. “‘On these general grounds, as well as on the more speclal grounds of the | high importance of the United States in sueh matters, the council attaches the greatest possible value to the co- operation of the Government of the United States, not only in conference, which it is its intention to call to- gether, but also in the preparatory work, which, in its opinion, s indls- pensable for the success of that con- ference. The council believes that the time has come for studying the prac- tical possibilities of the reduction and limitation of armaments under the guidance. and responsibility of the governments and expresses the hope that at the moment when all the na- tions of the world are conscious of a common need it will be able to count on the full and direct co-operation of the Government of the United States for a work which so closely concerns the peace of the world.” Community Tree in Petworth.
