Equality Demanded. No other course remained open to us for the fulfilment of our claim to equal treatment, therefore, except the en- trance of Germany into the scheme of general disarmament which the con- ference would resolve upon; that is, substitution of part V of the Versailles treaty by the Disarmament Convention, to be devised by the Disarmament Con- ference. That was the purport of the demand submitted by us to the con-| ference last July—that it should ex- press in its adjournment resolution the recognition of the principle of equality. That demand was refused. We there- upon replied by declaring we would refuse further participation in the con- ference so long as equal treatment was denied us. We endeavored subsequently, by means of diplomatic negotiations and | conversations with authoritative per- | sons during the sessions of the Léague of ‘Nations, to get the other great.-pow- | ers to recognize Germany’s right “to | equzl treatment. At first we received unfavorable and evasive answers from France and Great | Britain. The Italian premier, Mussc- lini, alone advocated from the very b: ginning Germany'’s right to equality. especially emphasizing this view in his | significant speech in Turin. We coun- tered with a decisive refusal all a tempts, to get us back into the Di armament Conference unless given re. ognition of our right to equality. Recognition by England. Meanwhile, matters took a more fa- vorable turn for Germany. In Eng- land, too, the justice of our standpoint | | | circles. In the House of Commons No- ember 10, and afterward in the bureau Disarmament Conference No- tary approved our demand for equalif This approval he formnlated in such way as to make us feel justified in re- turning to the Disarmament Confer- ence, always provided <he other great powers placed themselves on the same footing. November 14, the French gov- ernment published a new disarmament plan which, though not expressiy ac- knowledging our right to equality, tacil ly assented to the principle of equality and foresaw its gradual enactment. Such was the position when the rep- resentatives of Ggrmany, England, France and Italy met in Geneva at the extraordinary assembly of the League | of Nations to deal with the Manchurian question. At the instigation of the Eng- lish prime minister, deliberations were initiated dealing with the question of | equal treatment for Germany, and in | those_deliberations a representative of | |the United States also took part. The French premier submitted a formula concerning equal treatment which, al- though showing a significant advance, I did not regard as satisfactory. Offers Counter Questions. I therefore put forward some counter | questions and made some complemen- | tary proposals. In the tedious negotia- tions, during which the English prime minister, Ramsay MacDonald, used all | his great authority and skill as medi- | ator, and in the course of which the | representatives of the other countries | likewise supported Germany, the con- | ference succeeded in establishing the | four points embodied in the declaration which was signed December 11. In this declaration the German right to equality—and on this point no man- ner of interpretation can alter the fact | is unequivocally recognized. It is not | | characterized as a goal, as M. Herriot's first formu'a intended it to be, but as| one of the leading principles of the Dis- | armament Conference to be given prac- tical realization in the convention. Germany also demands the security for all countries referred to in the decla- ration, since Germany does not possess the minimum measure of national se- curity provided acticle 8 of the League of Nations covenant. Germany | seeks to attain this security through the | practicai realization of equality within | the compsss of gencral disarmament. | | When the Disarmament Conference | | began its sessions, February 2, 1932, it | already had the fully elaborated draft | convention of the preparatory Disar- mam-nt Commission, ~article 53 of which repudiated the right of Germany and olher disarmed countries to equal- ity. Moreover. the draft convention provided that the disarmament stipula- tions of the peace trea main in force quite independentlv th» outcome cf the Disarmament Con- | ference. al | | | | | Equal Right for All True, the conference did not accept the draft convention s a basis, as | countries desired, but rather as a ramework of its negotiations. Thus article 53 remained the subject of dis- cussion for the conference. Since the five-power agreement of December 11, this is no longer the case. Article 53 of the draft convention is moribund In future there will not be, as this| article foresaw, two kinds of rights in | the armement question, but only equal { right for all. vention to be elaborated by the conf ence is to be just as valid for us as | tor the cthers. and will replace Part V of the Versallies treaty | It would be wrong. however, to sup- | vose the battle already won. The dec- |Jaration of December 11 provides that the manner and method of the applica- tion of the principle of equal treatment shall be discussed at the Disarmament Conference. This is in keeping with | the standpoint we have adopted from | the beginning; but it naturally means, | too, that the dispute about the prac- | tical carrying out of our claim to equal treatment, about the reorganization of our territorial defense, about the prac- }ucal restoration of the minimum of | national security which Germany needs, still lies ahcad of us. I do not conceal | | from myself the great difficulties which | still must be overcome in this matter.

By the Associated Press. | SANTIAGO, Chile, January 4.—Med- ley G. D. Whelpley, president of the Cosach nitrate combine which was or- dered dissolved Monday, last evening gave out a statement severely criti- | cizing the action of the government. ' Mr. Whelpley said that in order ‘to avoid any damage or hindrance to forming a reorganized company the Cosach board will deliver ths entire combine to the government'’s Commit- tee of Liquidation as ordered in Presi- dent Alessandri's decree. | 1931 Decrecs Rescinded. He adde® however, that “the board goes on record as not being willing to assume any_ responsibility for the im- mediate or future consequences of this act of the government of Chile.” | President_ Alessandri’s decree rescinds | decrees of 1931 which created the qr- ganization. Aureliano Burr wds ap- pointed the government's representative on a committee to take over the com- | pany's knflnmukwuh an . inventory of | properties, stocks, baoks, papers pnd all | offices. ' Mr. ‘Alessandri congress | legal powers. Mr. Whelpley declared that the Presi- dent’s decree was contrary to all deeds and’ papers of organization signed. with legislative authority by the government, Other Concerns Not Included. Whelpley noted that the decree did | not apply to the two conoerns controlled | by the Guggenheim interests, the Anglo- | Chilean and the Lautaro companies. “The apparent thought behind this seems to be that these corporations’ are | separate legal entities, the continued | operation of which is in the national | interest,” he said. “For Cosach. itself | the objective now appears to be to undo | the amalgamation of the 34 companies which now constitute the combine, a formidable if not impossible task.” !
