Ner, indrd, can that re re pett itself be mere than a basin for the consideration by the members of the league of the measure of reduc tions in armament which united action nmy enable them te achieve, "Nevertheless, just as lit the case of the financial conference at Urusscln, the presence of an American repreaen tatlve whose function was only that of giving and receiving Information, was an Important factor In the success of the work of the conference, and It can not be doubted that the general con sideration of the subject of the reduc tion of armament will be greatly fa cllitata if the Government of the United Ntnti'H can see its wav te be represented in a similar manner at the meeting of the permanent advisory commission. "The problem Is one te which public opinion In all countries attaches the highest importance. "It is unnecessary te neint out that the reduction of armament is essential for the well belnc of the world and unless some measures of relief can be found by International co-operation for the excessive taxation due te arma ments the general economic situation must become increasingly worse. "The council m extending tbls invi tation cannot but hope that the Govern ment of the United States, particularly in view of the attitude of America to ward the question of the competition in armament, will net refuse te asso ciate Itself with the governments of the members of the league in beginning the preliminary work necessary for ulti mate success nnd te lend te the present effort nn assistance which can In no wny encroach upeu Its own perfect lib erty of action."
