[Arthur Henderson, Foreign Secretary; League of Nations] Typed Letter Signed Arthur Henderson, President of the Conference for the Reduction and the Limitation of Armaments, to Mr. Sayers [Rev. A.H. Sayers].

One page, sm. folio, fold marks, good condition. Henderson thanks Sayers for his telegram urging drastic reduction in World Armanents. | I can assure you that, as President of the Conference, I shall do all within my power to achieve this end. The responsibility for decisions rests, however, with the various Governments, especially those of the Great Powers; I am therefore venturing to have mention made of your telegram in the Journal of the Conference so as to bring it to the notice of the Delegations. | I am receiving magnificent evidence of the universal desire for genuine Disarmanent and I am sure that the ultimate results will depend to a great extent upon the effective manifestation to the Governments concerned of the strength of this public opinion. | I think the next few weeks will be of great importance and I hope all your members will do their utmost to help forwards the great work of Disarmament. Notes: A. Apparently Sayers was Hon. Secretary of the Monmouth Town Branch of the League of Nations Union; B. I can't help commenting that there are striking resemblances between climate issues today and disarmament yesterday, possibly as futile a discussion.
