Disarmament Talks Ease War Tension Across Europe
An easing of European war tension follows continued disarmament talks and a shift toward political realignment. The arbitration ruling over the sinking of the Tip Alone off Louisiana assigned compensation to some crew members while denying cargo and vessel damages. The decision, led by US Justice Van Devanter and Canadian Chief Justice Du, set payments to several crew members and to Amanda Mainguy, widow of a sailor, for losses and damages. London reports European capitals increasingly favor disarmament steps as League participation grows, with Britain urging progress and France signaling a pragmatic shift toward Germany's rearmament under control. Germany's return to Geneva fronts remains a focal point of later efforts.
