PREMIER BRAND TO
ATTEND DISARM MEET

PARIS, oct. 15.-It is the hope
of Premier BRAND that when he
visits Washington next month for
the conference on limitation OF
ornaments and far eastern questions
he Will be able to remain there
longer than the 10 days which it has
been stated he can give for his visit.
If domestic politics permit he will
extend his stay i'm the American
capital In all events it is his desire
to remain long enough 10 take an
active part in the work of the con
ference and to define the attitude
of che French government on the
important subjects which Will be
discussed.
NJ BRAND feels that France has
sentimental interest in her prime
minister going to Washington on the
first invitation FOR an international
meeting issued by country at whose
birth France in a sense considers
she was present.
Philippe j. L. BerthelOt, general
secretary of the foreign office, upon
whom NJ BRAND greatly relies on
questions of foreign affairs. may re-
turn home from Washington with
the premier.
