War CRISIS

PARIS, Aug. 81. pa proposal
that the nations OF the world place
their armed forces under the control
OF the league of nations and a pre-
diction that France would lead the
way at the 1892 disarmament con
ference was made today by Joseph
Paul Boncour, chairman Of the for
eign affairs committee Of the cham
Der of deputies, in a statement to
the Associated Press.
Presents New Angle.
Inasmuch as M. Paul-Boncour is
acknowledged as Frances greatest
authority on disarmament and IS
certain 10 be one OF Frances chief
delegates to the disarmament con-
ference in Geneva next February,
his statement was considered TO be
Of such -far-reaching importance that
it will give an entirely new angle 70
the struggle for the reduction and
limitation Of ornaments. The I'M
preston prevailed that he would not
have made his statement unless ne
was convinced that il harmonizes
with responsible opinion in France.
When the disarmament confer
encs agrees upon the actual figures
OF the defense strength OF each
country" ne said, "og- idea Is that
these forces should cease to be forces
left entirely TO the disposition Of
these countries and that there
should be an international mort
gage upon them.
4 mean that the council Of the
league OF nations when face TO face
with a case OF proved war OF agrees
sion should be empowered under
article Is OF the league covenant
70 make use of them to settle a war
crisis.
Sees Answer.
Are other nations, like us, ready?
Are they willing 70 nut their per-
manent air, naval and land forces
under the control Of and at the
disposition Of the league Of nations?
BY this gesture the problem Of parity
might be solved
NJ. Paul-Boncour said that limita-
ton of ornaments is linked with
the idea of creating an international
armed force which will insure respect
for arbitral 'ecisions and with a
policy OF imposing penalties on ma
tons which have been declared ag-
Aressors. He said that French cir
Giles yearned for perpetual peace and
are growing apprehensive over next
years disarmament conference.
