PARIS, December 21.-The French
government today was transmitting to
the powers invited to the London naval
conference memorandum setting
forth the broad lines of French policy.

express Frances desire for limitation,
based on adequate defense of its own
security, the security of its colonies
and trade routes and sets forth the
French position at the London con-
ference at Geneva
1t was assumed by close observers
that the memorandum also expresses
the French contention that submarines
must remain as the basis Of costal de-
fense. The document probably will be
made public shortly.
Italian Reply Due Today.
The italian reply to the recent
French memorandum on disarmament
problems is expected to reach the
Quai D'Orsay some time today. While
no hint of its contents has been forth
coming it is expected that it will in
general way repeat Italy's contention
for naval parity with France.
Arbitration, security and then dis
armament" will be Frances motto at the
conference, Georges Leygues, minister
Of marine, told Parliament yesterday.
All parties applauded the minister's
words and cheered loudly his statement
the French delegation would go to
London resolved to insure for France
defensive means adequate to its
security.
Confidence Voted.
1--WE will defend total tonnage against
tonnage by categories," he said with
reference to determining relative
strength of the fleets of the powers
He added, reiterating an old French
viewpoint, the London conference must
be considered preliminary to a general
disarmament conference at Geneva"
The French Senate voted confidence
in the government of Premier Tardieu,
253 to 2, with so senators abstaining,
on questions by former President Mil
lerand of the BRAND policy of Locarno

 Al . matter of fact, Nurmrs side Of the story remains to be told. The Finn. an even mere eluaivs llgpre on tho track than hs oyer was on 1t. had disappeared again and curious sports writers have not yet been able to track him down.
 Hufo Quist. who is eeneraltssimo Of Nurmt's campaign, said on 0atur- day that Nurmi had sons stale ard that the famous runner also was suf- fering from : bod cold.
 But some critics of the great Finn have another explanation for Paavo's failure to run. These observers de- clare that Quist learned on satur- day afternoon that Emo Purje. an- other young Finn, would start in the steeplechass instead of in the two mile hat race in which he was to have met Edwin Wide, the Swedish schoolmaster. Nurmt already had been charged with sids.steppinr duel with Wide when he entered the aeeplechase, and some critics con- tended that Paavo. rather than face 50 formidable rival as Purje in the steeplechase. decided not to run at all.
 Purje broke the worlds record for the steeplechase by four seconds and Wide, in winning the two mile nat race, covered the distance in 9 min. utes and seven seconds. much bst- ter time than anything Nurmi has done on his present tour.
 At any rate. Paavo will not run in the special mile and one-half at the Warinanco A. c. games at Eliza beth, N. J., tonight. His place will be taken by Wide, provided tho Swede can gain the necessary per- mission from A. A. U. officials.
