THE DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE
Once again, the United States steps upon the Euro
pean stage in an effort to thwart what, a few weeks ago
loomed as another World War. President Roosevelt has
endorsed the MacDonald plan for disarmament. He sets
his approval upon the plan in the following words:
“Common sense points out that if any strong nation
refuses to join with genuine sincerity in these concerted
efforts for political and economic peace, the one at Gen
eva and the other at London, progress can be obstructed
and ultimately blocked. In such event the civilized world,
seeking both forms of peace, will know where the re
sponsibility for failure lies.”
The MacDonald plan, summarized, is as follows:
1. Security by consultation under the Kellogg pact;
for any concerted action, England, the United States,
France Germany, Italy, and Soviet Russia must be in un
animous accord.
2. A numerical reduction of all armies by approxi
mately one-third, Germany allowed a total land army
of 200,000; France, 400,000, including 200,000 overseas
troops; Italy, 250,000, including 50,000 overseas troops;
Poland, 200,000; Czecho-Slovakia 100,000; Russia, 500,
000; Jugo-Slovia, 100,000; Spain, 170,000; Hungary, 60,
000. Figures for non-European armies are to be fixed
later. il
3. Reduction of caliber of mobile guns to 4.5 inches,
•with right to maintan existing guns up to 155 millimeters.
4. Reducton of size of tanks to 16 tons.
5. Holiday on battleship construction and submarine
building over 2,000 tons until the end of 1936; adherence
