The French imperialist government

From all appearances both the treaty

DEMANDS OF
NATION Seen
AS SETBACK

WASHINGTON. July 24-R-
The French memorandum to the
League Of Nations claiming France
cannot disarm further under ex-
listing political conditions in Europe
today cast a shadow over the Ella
ton Pres. Hoover manifested over
the success OF his recent diplomatic
move TO aid Germany.
With the ever power conference
IN London ended with a marked
degree OF success. American au-
thorities turned their attention 20
the French document for the first
time. Though comment was with
held, they did not disguise their
disappointment at the tone OF the
memorandum.
Success Loomed
The French attitude was inter-
preted as a definite set back 70
plans for the disarmament con-
terence at Geneva next February,
the success OF which Pres. Hoover
hoped would result from economic
rehabilitation Of Europe.
In announcing his plan for a NOR
atorium on tntergovcrnm ental
debts in June. the chief executive
expressed hope It would not only
contribute to the economic recov-
cry OF Europe. but would SO improve
international good will that II
would pave%the way for a success
ful disarmament conference at
Geneva.
Since the world wal France has
been the big question mark N all
disarmament discussions. Officials
here take the view that the out
come OF the Geneva conference VIII
depend largely on the attitude
France assumes.
Although II has been known that
France would like to have political
guarantees before joining any
movement to reduce arms. her out
right announcement OF this policy
was not expected at this time.
wants Agreements
France has not only refused TO
disarm under present conditions
but said she would not reduce ner
ornaments without agreements
from other nations TO protect her
Al case of attack. She also demand
ed a guarantee OF her political STA
billty. .
n France maintains that attitude
those most familiar with the SIT
uation acknowledge that she Will
deter material progress az Geneva.
Neither Great Britain nor the United
states Is expected TO accede 70 Nne
French demand.
However. in government circles a
hope persists that the French MEM
orandum was advanced for trading
purposes. or to bolster that nations
government politically at home
and that the note did not express
her final word on the matter.

that the European trip Of Secretary
Stimson or the state department
