Davis Throws Weight of In

Disarmament
Geneva, April 28 (AP) —The Unit

with Great, Britain, today at the
world disarmament conference when
Normfcn H. Davis announced the
American delegation would oppose
any attempt to weaken the d!raft arms
convention prepared by the British.
T’he American am(bassador-at-large
said he regarded the British draft
treaty as a very valuable contribu
tion and a definite step toward limi
tation of armaments. ,
He added that the United States
looked upon it merely as the firgt
step in disarmament, indicating that
others moist follow until armamets
are brought down to thir proper level
'“The plan does not go so far in
limiting armis, forces as we would
like,” Hr. Davis said. "Nevertheless,
We feel that our efforts should be
concentrated on adopting the plan as
a whole without modification, which
wbuld' jeopardize it.”
Beverly Hills, Califs, April 28.
