DISARMAMENT.
The question of disarmanent is destined to loom up large during the present year, not only because of President Coolidge's invitation for a conference on naval limits tion, which has been accepted by Great Britain and also by Japan, but because of the big programme of the League of Nations in this matter. It was stated in a tele-
it will have before it the whole of
the work done by various technical sub-Commissions, and it is hoped- that it may be possible to draw up a programme and fix a date for a full International Disarmament Conference. In Britain's reply to the United States, published on Tuesday, it was stated that the views of the British Government upon the special geographical posi-. tion of the British Empire, the length of inter-Imperial communi- cations and the necessity of pro- tectiou for its food supply, to- gether with the special conditions and requirements of the other countries invited must be taken
