Arms shipments policy at international confernce
Geneva May 14 The United States won a point at the international conference on control of trade in arms and munitions by allowing shipments to a foreign government without prior recognition. The rule was adopted unanimously with the understanding that a later agreement will fix how war materials move if the importing country is amid revolution. A second article may complicate matters by suspending restrictions on arms shipments to belligerents until peace, if recognition by export powers is communicated.
