TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 9, 1932.VIEWS GIVEN BY AMERICAN AND GERMANU. S. Disarmament Proposal Warmly Applauded By DelegatesBy P. I. LIPSEY, Jr.Copyright, 1932, by the Associated PressGENEVA, Feb. 9. AP Ambassador Hugh C. Gibson, acting chief of the United States delegation to the world disarmament conference, and Chancellor Heinrich Bruening of Germany presented to the conference today the American and German proposals for limitation of armaments, both of which differed at many essential points from the proposal of Prance, presented last week by Andre Tardieu, French foreign minister.The American proposal presented by Ambassador Gibson, who was warmly applauded by the delegates, contained nine points.NAVAL AGREEMENTSThese included the prolongation of the Washington and London naval agreements, further reduction of naval armament, abolition of submarines and promotion of land disarmament by restricting tanks and mobile guns, discard of lethal gases and prevention of bacteriological warfare, protection of civil populations against aerial bombing, limiting defensive forces to those necessary to maintain internal order plus some contingent for defense, and budgetary limitation of expenditures for war supplies when their direct limitation has been secured.Ambassador Gibson spoke with great deliberation and emphasis. As he returned to his seat he was beseiged by successive groups of members of other delegations who shook his hand and expressed appreciation of his declaration.Chancellor Bruening's statement pledged Germany with all emphasis, to the advocacy of general disarmament of an unmistakable nature, such as the League of Nations covenant envisaged but set out no formal program except to ask that the armaments of all nations be reduced to the same low relative status as Germany. He said he would present a formal program later.Referring to the proposal presented by M. Tardieu for France last week, he saidLet's do away with the efforts, by this or that interpretation of the rules, to secure for ourselves the possibility of military expansion of power and to take it away from others. That isn't the right way. That is the way to make the conference fail and to present the unhappy condition of an armed peace resting on unequal rights. NEW LANGUAGEChancellor Bruening introduced a new language into the conference, speaking German, which had to be translated into both French and English.Ambassador Gibson's announcement that the United States would consent to budgetary or financial reduction as a complement to direct limitation of armaments drew special applause from the delegations. This question has long been a stumbling block to preparatory disarmament work.A decrease in arms is an essential, Mr. Gibson said, not alone for the recovery of the world, but also to the preservation of the whole fabric of peace.The United States, he said, advovates making the draft convention drawn up by the preparatory committee the basis of the discussions of the conference. In this he agreed in the stand taken by Sir John Simon, spokesman for Great Britain, who addressed the conference yesterday. Gibson added, however, that the United States is willing to consider any supplementary proposal calculated to achieve arms reduction.Soft snow whitened John Calvin's city as the two statesmen, representatives of a victor and a vanquished nation in the World war, demanded, in terms of great moderation and friendship, that the whole world, without exception, disarm.
