The rejection of the Protocol with its corollary of a

general conference on disarmament lends importance to President Coolidge's decision to call a new disarmament conference for his is now the only plan in the field. Mr. Coolidge suggests that the conference should consider armies and navies ; air attacks on civilians ; the use of poisoned gas, and any economic and political questions which bear upon armaments.
