FRANCE NOT To
GET ARMS
MEET BID
U. s. Will Not Embarass Paris
Government With Unwel-
come invitation
BY FRANK e. MASON,
international News Service.

PARIS, April France does
not expect a formal invitation to
the proposed disarmament con-
ference at Washington.
knowing the French govern
ment's attitude, Washington Ger.
tainly is not likely to embarrass
France by issuing an invitation -
a spokesman for the government
told International News Service
today.
"The French government has
done everything possible on naval
disarmament" he continued. 1.-THE
French navy now is badly out of
date. Furthermore the proposed
conference apparently will discuss
aviation disarmament and as air
disarmament affects land disarma-
ment the question is not discuss
able, under present circumstances.
"It is not true to say that Francs
has refused an invitation to go tc
Washington. as Paris has not even
been sounded out.
"Of course Ambassador Daesch
ner has his general instructions or
this subject. France is willing tc
listen to any plan, TO study 1t care
fully, but obviously prefers not to
attend a conference.
This does not mean France
would refuse to go to Washington
as she might accept, contrary to
her own desires simply, out OF
courtesy to America.

Work of Clearing Way

Coolidges determination to stage
such conference, 1t was ascertain.
ed today from official sources.
With the warm support of the
British government, and the equally
certain. though less enthusiastic
support of the Japanese govern.
ment Administration officials will
continue to work qurerly and unoffi.
cially, as they have been for
months, to clear away the obstacles
that Paris is constantly throwing
in the pathway of the proposition.
The State Department today con.
firmed" International News Service
dispatches that France has not
notified this Government, formally
or officially, Of it's unwillingness to
participate in the projected confer.
ence.
French diplomacy. 1t was ex-
planned, does not work that way.
It works through more subtle chan.
nels. What the French government
aims to do, according to Authorities
here, Is to kill the conference
a-borning, thus escaping the embar-
rassment Of being invited, and then
having to decide whether to accept
or be put in the position Of being
an obstructiOnist to the further
ance Of world peace

Daeschner has instructions from
