FOR CONFERENCE
Viii Send Representative to
Limitations Meeting

Paris. June Is (UP)-French
government officials were confident
today that they had solved the un-
pleasant problem presented them by
President Coolidge's naval lmi'a-
tons conference. The solution was
believed to have been effected with
out having offended the United
States or receding from the French
standpoint that such a conference
Is of too limited scope to achieve
results desired by France.
In naming NJ. Clouzel. of the
French foreign office. to represent
France at the conference beginning
June 20 at Geneva. the government
cautiously designated him inform
err" The designation simply empha-
sizes the French determination to
refuse to consider reduction in the
field of auxiliary warships, cruisers
and submarines. These classes were
not affected by the Washington ma
val limitations conference.
Auxiliary warships are cocsidered
by France to be Indispensable to the
protection of her extensive coast
lines and sea routes to the colonies,
y Is only out OF courtesy to Mr..
Coolidge that France will be repre-
scented at Geneva at all. To reject
the Coolidge invitation would have
been unpleasant and distasteful TO
France; hence the "informer.' But,
the French attitude toward dlsarm-
ament or limitation of ornaments
has not changed since it last was
explained at Geneva. France is I'M
willing to discuss limitation piece
meal but would join in any general
disarmament conference which
would consider the entire question.
The entire question. according TO
the French thesis. includes potential
war strength as we'll as actual arma-
ments Of the land, sea and air. 10
that thesis. with respect to the in
clusion OF potential war strength.
both the Urited States and Great
Britain are opposed.
In view OF its attitude, French
authorities saw no possibility OF
their government taking any active
part In the Coolidge conference
without sacrificing French policy,

.STRESEMANN fears
. LEAGUE COLLAPSE
Must Advance Arms Farley to
Save Self, He Insists

| Geneva, Switzerland. June Is Up
A serious blow will be delivered
& gainst tAe prestige Of the League OF
Nations unless the disarmament ne
gotations are given new impetus.
Foreign Minister Strese mann of Ger
many declared in a vehement speech
before the league council today when
NJ. Benes presented the report of the
preparatory disarmament commits
sion.
DIR. Stresemann said the report
clearly indicated that the cause OF
disarmame nt had not been advanced.
He warned the council Of the urgent
need of reaching an accord on the
vital disarmament problems when
the second reading is given in No
vember to the draft treaty prepared
by the commission.
Solution of the disarmament ques-
ton. which appeared so simply a
few years ago. would now seem to
be definitely deferred" he asserted.
The very existence of the league de-
ponds upon a general reduction in
ornaments"
In conclusion he expressed the
hope that the next league assembly
meeting in September, would give
new impetus to the movement and
show an honest desire to disarm.
Foreign Minister Nandervelde of
Belgium agreed with DR.. Stresemann
that political conditions at the pres
ent time made a solution of the prob
lem imperative. Unless an agreement
for reduction were reached. he add
ed, the world would certainly be
plunged into race of ornaments.
Sir Austen Chamberlain. British
Lord Cecil, the British disarmament
delegate. did not share in the popu-
lar pessimism over the results of the
disarmament negotiations,
Personally. Sir Austen believed
that the International conference
which it was expected would event.
ually be convoked would be only
the first of a series. He warned that
it was only slowly and gradually that
the world could arrive at that meas
ure of peace and mutual confidence
which would justify disarmament
covenant.
The council ordered the disarma-
ment report sent to all the members
OF the league. 1t will be taken up
at the September assembly.
Mention of the United States was
made during discussion of the ques-
ton of convention governing the
private manufacture of arms. For
eign Minister Benes of Czechoslo-
vakia said the plan to link it with
general disarmament was influenced
by the attitude of the American dele
gates. who insisted upon including
the governmental manufacture of
arms in any convention treating with
private manufactures: otherwise the
United States would be unable to
pursue the negotiations.
The council voted to merge the
two disarmament efforts. Mean
while special committee will try
to elaborate a convention regulating
private manufacture. on which an
agreement hitherto has been i'm
poSSihle,
