TIIE ..MORNING OItEGONIANV - WEDNESDAY, MAY 5,. 1920 DISARMAMENT PLANS mow yp to council League Body to Consider Matter at Rome. SERIOUS PROBLEM RAISED Whether Proceedings Will Be Con ' ducted by Military or Civilian Officials. Is Question. WASHINGTON. May 4. (By the Associated Press.) Necessity of de ciding whether disarmament proceed ings of the leajjue of nations are to be" conducted by military men directly or by civilians with the military offi cials of each member nation as tech nical advisers will face the council of the league when it assembles this n.onth at Rome. Appointment of the permanent armament commission to advise the council, which is to be takfii up at Rome, must be preceded In the view of league officials by an nouncement of policy on this point. Under article IX of the league of nations covenant the permanent arm ament commission is to be charged with advising the council on arma ment matters. As now projected, the duties of the commission would be divided specific ally' into a number of phases to deai w'ith each point mentioned in the cov enant articles. Part of its function would be to conduct "the full and frank exchange" of military and naval information provided for. A rTrin men t Plana Problem. It is hoped by those arranging the programme, it is understood, that definite plans can be prepared for submission at the first meeting of the assembly of the league in regard to permissible armaments for nations te.elting membership and also regard ing ,the exchange of military informa tion by members. As the covenant does not specify the composition of the permanent armament commission, the council is expected to determine whether it shall consist of military men or civilians, wuh adequate staffs of military and nval advisers. If the task is placed directly in the hands of the military through appointment to the commis sion, it has been suggested that each member nation should name an army ci't'icer, a naval officer and an air service officer to constitute its com mission representation. Should the theory of civilian control be approved, however, a single civilian commis sioner from each power with a tech nical adviser from each branch of the service naval, military or air prob ably would bo named. . Additional Envoy I.lkely. One additional arrangement con templated is that when the armament of any particular member nation should be under review by the com mission additional representatives from that nation would be invited to join the permanent delegation on the commission for that purpose. The council will also have before it at Rome the proposals of the league to abolish war which played a part in the last British elections. The pro gramme includes proposed amend ments of the covenant of the league in order to secure immediate estab lishment of an international police force under authority of the league and by expansion of article VIII or otherwise of creation of the interna tional force to require disarmament of all nations except for the purpose of maintaining internal order. Another suggestion to which the league to abolish war adhered was that private manufacture of war mu nitions be prohibited and that the league of nations undertake to pro cure and supply all munitions in the future from international sources con trolled by the league.
