THIS WORLD OF
CHAOS
n
While there are a great many stiff hurdles to be surmounted, the world will, eventually, find a way out of its present political and economic chaos. Some may feel that the situation must get worse before it gets better. Others believe the restoration of stability has begun. Meantime, the tendency is to swing from op- timism to pessimism and back again, without due reason for such oscillation. Never before was there such a need for keep ing a steady view and, perhaps balanced

Germany's communication on the disarmament issue illustrates the gravity of the problems to be faced when the conference re- sumes next month. The Reich in prepared to accept the principle of control of armaments, with the proviso that it is equally applic- able to all natless. On the face of it, the demand is perfectly reasonable and it is safe to as- sume that Germany will not budge from her attitude. There is ala much sound basis for the French inalstence upon a four-year pro- bationary period. France quite frankly distrusts the Hitler re- gime and not without good cause.
