§ 45. Mr. FREEMANasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the desirability of calling an Army Conference of the great Powers with a view to a reduction of military forces?
§ The PRIME MINISTERAs my hon. Friend is no doubt aware, the question of disarmament, including that of land forces, has been under careful consideration at Geneva for some time past. I hope that, at the conclusion of the Five-Power Conference, a further meeting of the Preparatory Commission will be held, which will enable the next Assembly of the League of Nations to arrange for the summoning of an International Disarmament Conference.
