GENEVA, February 23.—Sixty-odd nations are supposed to be determining the future fate of armaments at Geneva. | | but when and if things come to @ or nine, or fewer, will There was early indl- as the conference swung | into the first week of its stride. Three | days of speechmaking were sufficient to emphasize it. Sir John Simon spoke | for Great Britain, M. Tardieu for France, Ambassador Gibson for the United States, Chancellor Bruening for Germany, Signor Grandi for Italy, Mr. Matsudaira for Japan, M. Zaleski for Poland, M. Hymans for Belglum, and then, M. Litvinoff for Russia. From | that moment forth interest in confer-| ence proceedings, us far as Geneva was | concerned, curled up. One could only | imagine the extent to which it collapsed elsewhere—in the United States, for in stance. It seemed to be universally realized that with the cards—thou~h not the trumps—of these major nine powers on the table, it didn’t much mat- | ter what China, Costa Rica, Guate-| mala, Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark, Brazil, Siam, the Hedjaz, Portugal, Turkey, Greece or the rest of them might lead. The Geneva game is to be | played by the big shots. * ok Kk Sir John Simon, Britain’s chief spokesman while Premier Ramsay Mac- Donald is detained in London by his eye trouble, is new at the international job. Until he became foreign secretary in the National government a couple of months ago, he wus active at the bar— the Charles Evans Hughes or John W. Davis of Britain. His manner remains that of the lawyer arguing before a ury—a suave, logical, conciliatory speaker, graceful of word and gesture, and careful not to rub any le mem- ber of this Geneva world jury the wrong way, lest Britannia's cause be needless- ly impaired. Andre Tardleu breathes more of force and determination than Simon. He looks like the shrewd head of a great banking or business corpora- tion rather than like a politiclan or a statesman. He affects almost invari- ably a double-breasted blue serge suit He moves rapid- Through his pince-nez gleams a pair of extraor- dinarfly sharp blue eyes. Frenchmen sometimes think of him as a bombastic, pompous person inclined to roughshod methods, especially in debate. Tardieu | tells people that in fact he suffers from | an inferfority complex. He says he’s as nervous as a schoolboy on the recita- tion platform when he has to pull him- | self together for an important speech. | * ok k% Hugh Gibson, Uncle Sam's conference veteran and expert, has graying hair| and nearly 50 years to his eredit, but he conveys the impression of eternal youth, Perhaps that is because it is seemingly impossible for him to affect any of the mannerisms of an up-stage international stetesman. Yet as he faced the Geneva conference, to present Americe’s nine-pvint program looking to an increase iL the world's supply of plowshares and pruning hooks, Gibson turned on as much dignity as the situ- | ation required, and accomplished his task in highly effective fashion. Con- ference gossip is that the chief of the American delegation has a pet aversion, and that its name is Litvinoff. The Russian commissar for foreign affairs on his part is said to reciprocate in| kind. Their feud harks back to one of the meetings of the Geneva prepara- tory commission a couple of years ago. | * ok ok X Litvinoff always speaks at Geneva in English, which he knows better than French. The controller of Soviet inter- national relations was once & political exile in London, returning to Russia soon after the Kerensky revolution. His wife is an Englishwoman, the for- mer Miss Ivy Low, a kinsworaan of the late Sir A. Maurice Low, long-time | Washington correspondent or' the Lon- | don Morning Post. Litvinoff gutturals | his way in Whitechapel English, and with a strong Polish-Russian accent. Facially, he isn't unlike Senator Brook- hart of Towa, and is almost as stocky and stalwart. Litvinoff was invited to broadcast a disarmament talk to the United States, but refused, on the ground that the non-existence of dipl Geneva Observations Hugh Gibson, U. S.

He was the first to tear into the Tardieu plan for making the League of Nations an armed superstate and | blurted out, with effective frony, what | other delegates felt, but hadn't found | the courage to say. * x % x The Germans have a word, “sympa- tisch,” which almost means “sympa- thetic” in English, but not quite. It is applied to a person with a person- ality that instinctively commands ad- miration and inspires confidence. Such was the impression created upon the Geneva Conference by Chancellor Bruening. His youth surprised people who had never seen him before. He is professor-like in appearance and temperament, and, when pleading his cause, resembles a clergyman preach- ing a gospel. You feel he means ex- actly what he says, without any of the artifices of the politician, and that back of it, minus Furor Teutonicus stuff of the Bismarckian patterns, is plenty of force. Bruening shot only his first bolt at Geneva, and launched it with marked restraint. He proposes cormuting between Berlin and the cor.terence, his domestic political viscis- situdes permitting, and more is to be heard from him at psychological moments—if he remains at the head of the German go/ernment. X ok ok x Dino Grandi, bearded young lion of Fascism, was widely touted in advance of the conference as the man most likely to emerge from it laurel-crowned. His opening address at Geneva went far toward justifying that prophecy. It fell to his lot to submit the most concrete, far-reaching and constructive program yet projected. The word “abolition” ran through it with cate- gorical persistence. Italy’s spokesman would not merely reduce and limit war's most aggressive and destructive weapons; he would simply and wholly do away with them. That is real dis- armament. Grandi got the best “hand” of any speaker who preceded or fol- lowed him. He spoke in French. HERALD SQUARE HOTEL| 347 5" a1 BROADWAY ... NEW YORK GULOENS matic relations would make such .
