TRANCE took advantage of the in
4 ternational confabs to start cam
paign for putting teeth in the Kel-
logg pact and in the League of Ma
lions covenant. A memorandum is
sued at the Quail d'Orsay, replying to
the leagues request for information
on armed strength, contained the Off
cial view that disarmament cannot be
accomplished unless an international
armed force is set up under the aegis
of the league. or reciprocal obliga-
lions are undertaken to prevent az
gression by military force. The
document gave no precise figures on
Frances armaments. but did declare
that those ornaments have been re-
duced to the lowest possible point
under present conditions in Europe
and the world" National security is
still the slogan of France. and she
insists on guarantees If her arma-
ments are % be modified.
The memorandum finally contends
that insecurity for one state means
Insecurity for all. and the idea of
neutrality is Incompatible with the
notion of solidarity Of states.

cludes the suggestions of President
Hoover, which Secretary Stimson said
were really both American and Brit

married, are the recommendations
adopted:
First-That the central banks and
the World Bank for International Set
Elements extend the $100000,000 Ger
man credit for further period Of
three months.
Secondhand private banks be
urged to leave their credits now in
Germany in German hands for the
present.
Third-That world bank commit
tee be appointed TO consider the Ques-
tons of short-term loans to Germany
and the conversion of existing short
term loans to long-term loans.
Fourth-That the conference mote
with satisfaction" the action of Ger
man industrialists in creating a re-
serve of approximately $125.0O0,000 on
the German gold discount bank.
After the conference adjourned
Chancellor Bruening and Minister Cur
thus consulted the American delegates
concerning the possibility of arrang-
ing a new long-term loan. If France
refused to participate. they thought
the loan might be made by America,
Great Britain and several other coun-
tries.
Herr Bruening also conferred with
Premier Laval of France on the pos
slbility of the latter visiting Berlin
within the next three months.
That France is not at all in sympathy
with the Hoover credits proposal was
made clear by Premier Laval when he

The proclamation declaring martial
