This article focuses on political developments in the United States. Naval disarmament was brought a step nearer at the meeting of the Preparatory Disarmament Commission at Geneva which has just adjourned. U.S. diplomat Hugh Gibson's speech at the opening of the session was remarkable for two things. He pleaded for arms reduction rather than arms limitation, which marks a distinct psychological advance. Secondly, he stated that the United States was willing to consider the French suggestion of equivalent tonnages; and, moreover, in order to work out a lair basis of comparison between different vessels, the United States would be willing to take into consideration such factors as age and the caliber of guns, in addition to tonnage.
