BRITAIN WILL INSIST
GERMANY DISARMS
Cabinet Stands by France in
Enforcing Treaty.

London. Dec. 30.
England has decided to stand by
France in the event of further occupa-
ton of German territory to enforce the
disarmament provisions of the Treaty
of Versailles. While 1t is the disarna-
ment of Germany that is specifically
involved In this decision which THE
NEW YORK HERALD correspondent here
was informed was reached at full
meeting of the Cabinet that was at
tended by Field Marshal Sir Henry VIII
son. Chief of the GenNal Staff, and Lord
d'Abernon, British Ambassador to Ger
many, II was disarmament throughout
the world that influenced the decision.
It was openly stated here in the high
est quarters that Germany cannot en-
terrain the slightest hope OF economic
action favoring her unless she first
demonstrates her absolute good faith
and intentions of observing the military
clauses of the treaty and disarms. If
Germany expected to play the economic
against the military clauses of the
treaty she is doomed to disappointment
in so far as Great Britain Is concerned.
Inc Brltlsn QeleBaleS 10 the bTuSsels
conference were instructed early to con-
slider everything to get Germany back
on her feet economically. Since the
German note protesting the inability Of
Germany to dlsarm her civil guards.
these instructions have been withdrawn,
and II Is now practically certain that
nothing will come of the Brussels meet
ing until Germany proves her good
faith by disarming.
Once that Is settled Great Britain may
be expected to move forward toward two
goals-one an agreement to limit arma-
ments between the United States, Great
Britain and Japan. and the other an
agreement either to fund or to cancel
the war debts.
Gen. Pershing's speech at the dinner
for the aid OF the destitute children Of
Europe In New York last night was ex-
tensively printed here this afternoon,
and undoubtedly influenced these de-
Iiberations by the Cabinet. While there
is every disposition here to grant to Ger
many what relief seems wise economical
ly, there is an adamantine determination
to insist on disarmament. not only as a
matter OF fulhlment OF the German obli-
cations under the peace treaty, but as a
matter of stern, hard pounds sterling.

There Is perfect readiness in Down

ing street to acknowledge the internal
difficulties in the way of Germanys
taking the rifles away from the Sicher-
heitpolezei (security POLICE, the Elm
wohnnerwehr civil guards) and other
armed bands, but there is little credence
placed in Germany's plea of a Bolshe-
visit menace. One diplomatist said to
THE NEW YORK HERALD correspondent
here to-day:
France cannot very well insist upon
war upon Bolshevism and at the same
time insist that German measures
against Bolshevism be weakened. Our
policy is that there is no menace Of Boil
shevism and that Germany must dis
arm as France demands"
1t was stated by high authority that
Downing Street has ample guarantees
that those Frenchmen who are dreaming
of permanent occupation Of the Ruhr
district to the greater glory Of France
and for the greater crushing of Ger
many, do not represent real French opin-
Ion either popularity or officially.
THE NEW YORK HERALD correspondent
here was informed that the entire ques-
ton of disarmament entered incidental
ly into the Cabinet discussion to-day,
and the Cabinet was informed of Sem
ator Knoxs declaration that President
elect Harding was still insisting he
would ignore the League Of Nations en-
tirely in his plans for a conference OF
the great Powers to guarantee the peace
Of the world.
While the British attitude Of watch
full waiting is still maintained, there is
no modification Of the British tendency
TO believe that the League of Nations,
as an organization actually in being. is
far better medium for International
agreement than any new assembly.
whether 1t is composed OF certain Sc
lected members or of all the Powers.
There is still much hope here that Mr..
Harding will see this viewpoint.

Tours, France, Dec. 30.-The split In
the Socialist party of France took def
mite shape this afternoon when the
Centrists, led by Jean Longuet and Paul
Faure, met in Joint session with the
leaders constituting the majority of the
Socialist members Of the Chamber of
Deputies. The two groups concluded
that as a majority of the Socialist con-
gress yesterday had voted in favor of
adhesion to the Third Internationale,
and thereby became the Communist
party of France, the Right and Centrist
parties were now officially the Socialist
party of France.
In a manifesto the new Socialist party
will declare itself as being clear cut
Socialists dedicated to class struggle and
the realization of a Socialist common
wealth and against participation in all
bourgeois ministries"
NJ. Longuet to-day described the fI-
sion of the Right and Centre Socialists
as movement to build "a temporary
shelter until the poison gas in the old
home is dissipated." Then" he added,
I'VE hope to be one family again.
This wing has large majority of the
sixty-three Socialists in the Chamber OF
Deputies. Only twelve joined the Com
munists or radical left wing. and the
remainder are divided between the Right
and Centre groups.

PARIS. Dec 30.-A 451 to 54 vote OF
confidence in the Government in connec-
ton with the Tours Socialist Congress
was given by the Chamber of Deputies
this evening The vote came after the
gauntlet had been thrown down to the
Government by the new Communist
party of France formed at the Tours
Congress. and acceptance of the chal-
lenge on behalf of the Government had
been made by Minister OF the Interior
Steeg.
The debate which arose from an in
terpella ton asking the Government why
Clara Zetkin, member of the German
Reichstag, had been permitted to enter
France and speak at the Tours Congress,
gradually broadened into a debate on the
general policy Of the Government toward
immigration. 1.-THE permitting of unde-
sirables to enter France and allowing
revolutionary propaganda by foreigners
and French members of the Communist
party.
NJ Cachin, leader of the extremists of
the Socialist party for years and now
leader Of the Communist party. made a
speech euloglzing the ideas of the Third
Internationale. of Nikolai Lenine and
Clara zetlSin. He closed by saying:
I'VE shall take advantage OF the
Governments protective measures as
long as they are extended to us When
they cease and coercion and repressive
measures are adopted we shall continue
our revolutionary propaganda every
where and at all times"
Pandemonium broke loose in the
Chamber Many Deputies jumped to
their feet and requested Raoul Peret,
President Of the Chamber. to have NJ.
-Cachin expelled. Shouts of SHANE -
and ''Your language is dlshonorable to
a Frenchmanv were heard In various
parts of the Chamber. Then NJ. Steeg
rose to reply TO NJ. Cachin.
Deputy Cachin," said the Minister OF
the Interior has thrown down a chal-
lenge to the Government. We accept it.
We shall repress any attempt at revolu-
ton with all possible means at our
command. The Governments energy
will be equal to the audacity Of NJ
Cachin's party"
NJ Steeg then introduced the Govern
ment's bill providing penalties varying
from three TO six months Imprisonment
for attempts to cross the frontiers of
France without passports.

appear as mysteriously as she had ar
rived in Tours.
The Government is being held up 10
ridicule as result of this incident, par
ticularly in view of the fact that last
summer the British Committee of Ac-
ton was deported within twenty-four
hours after it's arrival in France, al
though the mission was composed OF
some of the most prominent men in the
British labor movement and was per-
fectly peaceful as compared with that of
Frau Zetkin. who, it is regarded here,
might almost as we'll have been Lenine
himself.
Unquestionably real Red revolution
in France was represented in the ele-
ments dominant in Tours. which took
their orders from Lenine. but it is be-
lieved that when they have had time to
fully weigh the consequences of the ac-
ton by the radicals there, the working
classes of France will refuse to follow
such leaders as Marcel Cachin and other
extremists.

German reactionaries have welded and
that while Germany to-day is unable to
conduct an offensive war the life OF
the German Republic is the best secur-
ity for the peace of Europe, and there
fore the dissolution of the reactionary
civil guards would be an act OF pru-
dent foresight.
The Germans fear the Allies sent the
note regarding the safety police" as
well as the note ordering the disarming
of all but three of the Notifications on
the eastern German frontier. to make
1t possible for them to present to the
world a full general picture of fall
ure by Germany to observe the terms
of the Treaty of Versailles without at
the same time giving the world
chance to analyze what the failure
amounts to in detail. BY this move, 1t
is declared mere, the Allies expect TO
disarm criticism of their drastic policy
of reprisals.

Paris. Dec. 80.
The dramatic appearance of Clara
Zetkin. radical member OF the German
Reichstag. and direct emissary OF Nikolai
Lenine, before the Socialist Congress in
Tours. where she materially aided the
stampede OF the majority to Commu-
nism. has startled the Government as
we'll as all France. Frau zetkin was
formerly companion of the late Rosa
Luxembourg and is an exponent of the
most violent form Of Communism. What
is stirring general Indignation is the ease
with which Frau Zetkin, after being
refused a passport by the French Cow

German frontier and, after making a
strong rev dictionary speech as the repre-
sentative OF the Moscow Soviet, to dis
