§ 4. Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he 1843 proposes to ask the President of the Disarmament Conference to consider the advisability of calling it together forthwith in order to discuss recent proposals for arms limitation and, in particular, the plan still before the air committee of the conference for the abolition of military aviation, the internationalisation of civil aviation, and the establishment of an international aerial police force to prevent the misuse of civil aviation?
§ Mr. EDENNo, Sir. I do not consider that it would serve a useful purpose to press for the resumption of discussions by the Disarmament Conference on any or all of these matters until an understanding is reached which would enable all the principal Powers concerned to participate.
§ Mr. MANDERIs it not proposed that there shall be an international conference of some kind to deal with the matters arising in connection with the Western Air Pact?
