LONDON, May 1.—Viscount Cecil f Chelwood today denounced the rmaments trade as a bar to peace. He declared it was wrong in prin- ple that in any country there should xist great interests which must de- d for their prosperity on war prep- rations, saying they were almost ound ito be in opposition to the gen- ral pe‘ce policy of the country. “Whenever you get a state of ten- fon in international affairs,” he as- Jerted at the first sitting of the royal ommission investigating pri anufacture and trade in arms, alues of shares of armament firms 0 up. “There have been cases in which ctive steps have been taken by arma- ent interests to prevent the conclut ion of disarmament negotiations. he most striking of these were the florts of Mr. William B. Shearer for ertain firms in America to prevent he conclusion of the Disarmament onference at Geneva.. Favors American Plan, “It wasn't entirely Shearer's efforts vhich prevented the treaty being h de. but the atmosphere of sus- on and doubt, as the policy of the tish and American Governments broduced the kind of atmosphere that prings about failure in international hegotiations.” As the first witness in behalf of he League of Nations Union, the nglish peer urged the commission to ecommend that the British govern- ent accept the general lines of the merican draft convention on supers ision of the arms trade. After quoting the late Premier Arise ide Briand's statement that articles gainst peace were written with pens ade of the same steel as cannon- balls, Viscount Cecil declared: “There is something shocking about he idea that money should be made from the sale of these instruments, the purpose of which is to cause the [death or wounding of fellow crea- tures.” Points to British Strength. He urged the adoption and ratifica- tion of measures which would be no less effective than those which the American Government recently pro- posed. Viscount Cecil told the commission, “I have a strong belief from my ex- perience at Geneva that if the British government were to back these pro- posals strongly, its position in the 2 world is such that the prospects for “ unanimity would be greatest. * * * & “I should like to see the British gov- ? ernment put forward a proposal for ; definite abolition of private arms i manufacture. From the moral view= point, the armaments trade is com- wo perable to the slave traffic and the element of private profit should there- s fore be abolished from this country.” 18 HELD FOR MURDER Colored Woman Is Charged With Fatally Shooting Man.
