Given n Geneva, April 17.--The Soviet plan for reducing world armaments presented to the preparatory dis- armament commission by Maxim Litvinoff, vice-commissar for for- eign affairs, got a chilly reception today. ' Even Germany, which has con- stantly protested that she has been disarmed by treaty and that other nations are not living up to their promises to lessen their own sup- erior armaments, felt that it was unwise to endorse the Russian idea of agreeing mow upon the figures of reduction. Count Von Bernstorff thought that this should be left to a later international conference, at the same time, however, giving hearty approval of the principles of the Russian plan. Claimed Impracticable Japan, Chile and France all re- jected the Soviet project as 'im- practicable because they contend- ed it failed to take into considera- tion realties. The Germans are hesitating FTelegra; about suggesting the appointment of a special sub-committee to dfs- cuss the naval problem, though it may do so later. One idea is that this committee should meet in Ge- neva on June 15. OWDEN CL 'LABOR OPPOSED * TOBALFOUR NOTE} _ "(Continued from page 1) Anglo-French debt terms," and call- ed his speech "courageous and en-|, tirely justifiable." The ile Consesvative] h, while admitting the for- mer La exchequer head was not alone in thinking "Great Britain had not been fortunate in her settlements with the creditor United States or her numerous debtors". endorsed the fears of Mr. Churchill that his state- ment might endanger the French- Italian payments. - It added that if faith in Great 'Britain's acceptance of the Balfour principle was shaken the national credit would also be shaken in every sense to its founda- tions. The, Balfour note, handed Britain's war del in 1922, stated that while Great Britain would have been willing to forego all claims for re-|. parations and payment of inter-allied debts in a universal settlement, she would be content with collecting from her allies and Germany suffi- cient to cover her own payments to the United States. This was equi- valent to only a 'quarter of the sum due her. Mr, Snowden was particularly bit- ter in his criticism of France, who, he said, had repudiated four- fifths of her obligations to England. Many Britishers had been practically ruin- ed' because France was balking at her national obligations, he said, while at the same time she was the most prosperous country in Europe.
