ST. NAZAIRE, France, Oct. o.-No
country IS more ready than France to
reduce armanlents, Premier BRAND said
to-day IN long speech in This Brit
tany town Of his birth, but no country
is more obligated to demand that her
security be first considered. He in
sisted that any reduction OF the size Of
the French army must depend upon the
elimination OF the German menace, in
other words, an Allied understanding
FOR the protection of France.
Pleading for the political support
which is necessary when he goes to
Washington to represent France, and
demanding the solidarity of all polit-
ical parties when the Chamber Of Dep
uties reconvenes on October Is, the
Premier said:
"under present circumstances in the
worlds affairs, the Premier Of France
not only needs the confidence Of his
country and all the authority that can
be given him, but he needs the assur
ance that this authority shall not
diminish. This is true because France g
great interest in world affairs and the
Importance of the role she played in
the great war make it necessary that
her voice be heard fur and wide"
France TO Demand Hearing
The Premier indicated that France is
going TO Washington in November
ready to demand hearing Of her case
for the establishment Of an agreement
German attacks. Speaking of the No
vember parley and his own position as
the head Of the government at that
time. the Premier said:
at is necessary that the man who
confers with the representatives OF the
other nations shall be the responsible g
chief Of his government, with all the
authority which attaches to the pres
tige and greatness Of the country he
repregents."
BRAND asserted that France had a
right to leading place in the world
because Of her war record, and right
to get rcparations for all the damages
which she sustained. II the country
should not obtain these rights, he said,
the men directing the destinies OF
France we're responsible and were not
measuring up to the requirements Of
their task
Speaking Of his projected trip to
Washington, the Premier continued:
I'VE will go over there as the duty OF
gratitude'
Touching on the possibilities Of ef-
fecting reduction Of arrnaments, he
said:

that not only was the legislation which
Craig used as G basis for his charge
signed by Mayor hylan, but that it had
been drafted after conference be-
tween the Board Of Estimate and the
Public Service Commission, and further
that Craig former law partner, Surro-
gate James 4. Foley. then member
Of the Senate and son-in-law of
Charles F. Murphy, was one OF the
Democrats who voted for the bill.
Craig made the statement questioned
by Lockwood in his speech OF accept

Lockwood in turn asked Craig TO Tell
the public the facts about the contract
for limestone Tor $I,84o,000 which the
Lockwood committee forced Craig and
other members OF the i5yian board to
cancel, and which he charged on the
floor Of the Senate was to afford .
group Of grafters S1,00O,00O to divide
among themselves. This contract was
approved by Craig, Hylan and the her
lammany members Of The Board of

FROM The Tri5unc's Washinat0n Bnreeu
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9-The confer
ence on unemployment called by Pres
dent Harding already has accom-
plished big things. and az result the

Already there has been widespread

TOR local cooperation in the solution
ot the unemployment problem, and il
- clear that as the result OF waat has
been done great numbers Of men will
be put on pay rolls this fall and win
ter and great mum bers of families will
be helped by being given opportunity
to help themselves.
In no less than thirty-one cities
Mayors emergency committees already
have been organized and in a score Of
others such committees are being or
ganized. Heads of industries and bust
ness men are cooperating.
