U. $. STUDYING PLAN TO PLACE LIMIT ON ARMS Budget Method Considered as Means to Curb War Preparation. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Prist Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June. 19—A study of the budgetary method of limiting arms—which France and her allies have praised and the United States has fought—is being made by American disarmament experts, it was learned today. Although officials emphasized that they expected to continue at the world disarmament conference next year their long fight for the direct limitation of war materials—which they regard as more effective than the budgetary method. Recent changes have made them slightly more cordial toward the French thesis. The primary change is in the method of applying the budgetary system. Originally it was proposed that the budget of the United States, for instance, should be compared with that of “Nation B.” Ambassador Hugh Gibson at the preparatory disarmament meetings pointed out this method would be unfair to the United States. This country pays its soldiers more than any other nation. Steel and other materials cost more here. Wages are higher. Thus the United States might spend more than "Nation B,’’ yet get less fighting power for the money. , Other nations realized the justice of this objection and the method was changed to provide that budgets of the same nations should be compared for successive years.
