Washington. Nov. @--premtcv Er!and
has hoped that the NashluSt"n c"utHr-
ence wos,d adopt :, resolution more or
less approving the attitude OF France
on land armament. His speech OF m
day MAS designed as preliminary Siep
toward that end Arthur James EIltour
oY Great Britain and Secretary hughes
Of the United States delegation cndeaN-
,,red tu meet his wishes IN their response
90 his speech. and the discussion today
IN French circles WAS whether Premier
Eri,.,d would hc satisfied With those
rNprc>SionS ~ whether he would ask
for something more concrete. The
chances Of his getting 4 blanket APP
pro,al Of the French idea Of land arwa-
rcut we're regarded as slim. though
some statement Sympathl&tnE with the
uecessilicS uf FRANCES position woulaS
not he as. difficult 10 get Premier hr~
and leaves lonl-rrow. To get an agree
mcnt on 50 k0otty a point in twenty
four hours would indeed bc a tribute to
the skill Of the French statesman as
well as an unprecedented record for ac-
rIou on such u vital prIurtp.c.
