(By the Afs'd Press) The limitation of armaments by the powers for the next two years by agreement among them was acted upon favorablo Tuesday by the assembly of the League of Nations. The matter came up in the form of a report of ' disarmament committee, the limitations cIau?o in which was amended to merely a recommendation before the report was adopted. With respect to the limitations clause, leor Bourgeois made the reservation that Franco was obliged to restoro bei armaments that had been worn out by the war. The Belgian and Spanish delegations at the afternoon session mad'; similar reservations regarding the limitation of th- ir armaments d-iring the iicvt two veirs. I Again-t Umitatton Notwithstanding tho re servatb-.s. J 'ranee, together with lirazi!. Chile. Grei.ce, Poland, Itumania, and Frugiiay. voted against the limitations clause. Hjalmar F-rmtirg. Swed-n, pointed out thai the- reservation did not e Lange, the situation, since a resolution on thai subject was only, and could only be. a recommnebition by the - delegates voting therefor, who ar nor urde-tocd as committing th"i g - rnna nts.

The.'ie are. briefly, an effort to prevent the future increase of armaments and propaganda in favor of a decrease as a steady means of bringing about eventual, but remote, general disarmament. Franco and Belgium accepted the eomncittce's conclusions upon limitations for armament expenditures during the next two years on the basis of appropriations for last year. They added, however, that they could not consider the restoration of ' armaments destroyed during the war as increased expenditures but pointed cut that measures were leing taken to reduce the period of military servier-.
