HUN DISARMAMENT HEADS PROGRAMME
 OF NEW MINISTRY
France Does Not Demand Im- possible, But Claims All Its Due, Says Declaration of
 New Government
By Associated Press

Paris, January 20.-The Briand min istry presented to Parliament this aft ernoon it's programme, in which dis armament of Germany takes first place and the payment of separations as provided for in the treaty of Versailles second place.
 The declaration of the government was read by Premier Briand in the Chamber and by by Senator Marraud in the Senate
 It was heard with tense interest and was interrupted frequently by gen. eral applause.
 The declaration expresses confidence that England will aid all she can to arrive at an understanding between the allies, which it says is a prime necessity to the settlement of ail questions concerning peace now in sus pense.
 France claims it's due and all it's due," the declaration said. She does not demand the impossible, but what Is now most important is that all ia : cilities of the debtor for payment in money and in any other form shall be applied to the profit of the creditor"
 Mention is made of the military ac- ccfn with Belgium which the ldeclara- ton says was provoked "by indisput- able interests for the common defense. and which, despite the dissimilarity in customs regimes, led to an economic understanding equally desired on both sides of the frontier"
 The urgency of an effective peace With Turkey is recognized and the declaration asserts that taking into account the new circumstances the conversations going on with our a1- lies will solve the oriental question. ,
 AS to Russia, the declaration says F'rence cannot resume relations with Russia so long as there is not at Mos COW a regime that really represents the Russian people and is ready to Keep the engagements undertaken by previous governments of the country.
 "Boishevism is Russian" adds the declaration. So long as 1t remains confined within the Russian frontiers We have not to intervene in the affairs or Russia; but 1t is impossible to admit that the soviet armies shall leave their territory to attack our all lles."
 The other principal points of the programme are reduction of the miIi- tary service without weakening the military force of France so long as Europe still fs unpacifed, reduction of expenditures, organization of the H. nancial administration, intensifioation or reconstruction and indulgence to- ward the working ciasses
