                  LIMITATION OF ARMAMENTS                   
 
 
An agreement on the part of the principal belligerent 
powers, with the collaboration of such other powers as 
they may deem it advisable to invite, to a limitation of 
armaments on the following basis:
 
 
Land:
 
 
The abolition and destruction of all mobile
cannon of greater calibre than six inches.
 
 
A limitation on tanks by both size and numbers.
 
 
Air.
 
 
The abolition of bombers and prohibition of manufacture thereof.
 
 
A limitation by numbers on fighting and observation planes.
 
 
Sea:
 
 
The abolition of capital ships and aircraft carriers.
 
 
The limitation of numbers of 10,000 ton cruisers, which will take into account the needs of the British Overseas Empire in the same sense that Germany's needs on the continent are taken into consideration by the omission of limitation of numbers of trained recruits.
 
 
 
The establishment of a permanent disarmament commission with the right of inspection as to provisions of the agreement and for study of future measures of limitation.
