FLIGHT, FEBRUARY 12, 1932 THE DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE (Concluded from page 130) accepting the prohibition of such use, agreed similarly to prohibit bacteria methods in warfare between themselves. I believe that at least 32 Governments have already ratified this Protocol, and I am glad to think that among them are the Governments of all the members of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Similar prohibition is con tained in Article 39 of the Draft Convention for disarma ment which we have before us. I feel convinced that the conscience of the civilised world will not be satisfied till similar effective prohibition has been imposed on all prac tices which shock our common humanity. " The other weapon to which I shall specifically refer is the submarine. . . . " Let me sum up, then, by indicating in simple and direct terms some of the directions in which the British delegation believe that the limitations and reduction of armaments may be practically applied. . . . We accept, as the basis of our future discussions, the general scheme of the Draft Disarmament Convention. We accept, in general, the method of limitation by reference to the establishment of maxima contained in that Convention, We support the establishment of a permanent Dis armament Commission. " We urge the abolition of gas and chemical warfare. " We press for the abolition of submarines. " The abolition of conscription is, as we realise, a sub ject with controversial aspects, but we seek and urge upon this point the most practicable course for limiting by agreement the numbers of effectives. " The temptation to resort to armed conflict is obviously reduced if defence is strengthened at the expense of attack, and since our common object is not to increase, but to diminish, the sum total of armaments and their expense, it follows that we must direct especial attention to such prohibitions or limitation as will weaken the attack, and so remove temptation for aggression. " I have already made a reference to what has been accomplished between certain of the principal naval Powers in the direction of limitation of naval armaments, and " We are ready to co-operate in whatever methods are found most practicable for agreed reduction in the size of ships and of maximum gun calibre, as well as in practical application to the principle of prohibiting land guns above a certain calibre." m m m m A Hint to Employers THE Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators of the British Empire has an employment bureau, on whose books are registered the names of many " B " licence pilots and 2nd class navigators. Emplovers who want the services of further pilots than those already on their staff should therefore make use of this bureau, for at present no charge is made. The telephone number is Central 8668. * « m * PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED Technical Notes of the U.S. National Advisory Commit tee for Aeronautics: No. 367, The Aerodynamic Character istics of Three Tapered Aerofoils Tested in the Variable Density Wind Tunnel.
