United States Embraces Collective Action At Disarmament
President Roosevelt’s policy shifts at the disarmament conference as Norman H. Davis outlines that the United States will consult with other nations when peace is menaced and may refrain from blocking collective measures against an aggressor. The U.S. supports armament control, permanent participation, and maintaining the territorial status quo while opposing demobilization of nations. Davis also backs Ramsay MacDonald’s disarmament plan and a defensive armament level, pledging to work with states to prevent armed incursions and to contribute to a peaceful organization if broad armament reductions are agreed.
