Premier Brands
Slant on First ssss
Work Arms Farley

| Washington, Nov. 0-0eneral pfin-
ciples upon which question at issue
are to be settled win be laid down In
the hrst days Of the conference on
limitation OF armament and Pacific
and Far Eastern questions according
to the opinion expressed today by
i>Premisr BRAND Of France At Q con-
ference with American newspaper
correspondents. He discussed freely
| the work OF the armament confer
ence and the spirit in which he and
| his associates in the French dele
cation will approach it.
MY conception Of the first days of
the conference" the premier said.
lis that 1t will consider and lay down
the principles upon which naval ar
naments. land ornaments, and Pa
cific questions are to be settled. It
will be for the conferences itself to
decide the range Of discussions, but
my feeling is that 1t will not 60 be-
yond the lines have indicated and
as stipulated in the agenda, already
approved by the participating gov
ernments."
will the question OF European
debts to the United States come up?"
he was asked. >-
II do not think So" he replied.
France has no disposition to bring
forward the question and ! do not
see that any subject<not upon the
program could be considered with
out the consent Of all the govern
ments represented"
I'm discussing the size of the
French army. M. BRAND said:
"Our army has been reduced
greatly and is in process Of further
reduction. We are going to the ex-
| IRENE limit consistent with the Sc
curity OF France and I may say OF
Europe. We are in the presence of a
disorganized Europe. Germany is
disarmed as to artillery and to small
weapons, bit with 60O00.0O0 Of peo-
pie and with an industrial power that
could create arms and war matter
with great rapidity.
| 1--WE are in the presence of two
volcanoes. On the other side Of Ger
many is Soviet Russia in full erup-
ton. The German volcanoe is rumb-
ling. The only barrier is Poland
Should that barrier fall, we would
have the two countries OF eruption
uniting. We must have sufficient
strength to deal with eventualities
affecting the world.
1.-THE United States will understand
the significance Of that duty because
she sent SO many men across the
ocean for what I may call world rea-
sons"
| France comes to the conference,
he continued, asking for nothing
soliciting nothing and having in the
background no thoughts Of things to
be obtained for herself. 1--WE come
rather" he added. using a homely
expression Of Brittany. with our
ears more widely open than our
mouths" We shall listen rather
more than talk. We have our opin-
ions to express and suggestions to
make, but we have no sort of pur-
pose to ask anything for France. We
will arrange our affairs and all that
we will ask at anytime would be
moral freedom to do so.''

tonight to give their liberal support

their soldiers and sailors. to their
fellow cousins in civilian life, and to
those peoples of other lands who have
a human claim on the sympathetic
concern of our own people.
