Luesse was convicted of interfer-

FRENCH PLAN
TO CUT ARMS
GIVEN WORLD
Calls on United States to
Join in Guaranteeing
Nations Security.
HOPEFUL OF RESULTS
Proposal Based on Mutual
Assistance Against
Invaders.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

PARIS, Oct. 29.-An elaborate
French plan for arms reduction
vitality affecting the military
strength of all countries and calling
on the United States to join in
guaranteeing the security of nations
from attack, was before the world
today.
The French plan, most detailed
and elaborate yet offered, will be
presented for consideration of the
world arms conference at Geneva,
probably within a week.
1t was outlined to the chamber
Of deputies by Premier Edouard
Herriot Friday night and accepted,
the chamber voting confidence in
Herriot by 430 to 20 before adjourn
ing early this morning.
Cut Compulsory Service
Under the plan, France offers to
reduce its term of compulsory mil
itary service from twelve to nine
months and the number of army d.
visions from twenty to twelve, I'M
der the following conditions:
All armies should be on a
militia basis and military organi-
cations such as the German reichs-
wher, or regular army, should be
dissolved, while interior police forces
should be subject to international
rules
2. International control should be
organized, SO as to admit the right
of investigation of a country's forces.
3. To complete the Locarno peace
pacts, region pacts of mutual as
sistance should be concluded, pro-
viding for a collective force of suf-
hclent strength to suppress agrees
sion. The force should be composed
of national contingents equipped
with adequately powerful material.
Hopeful of Results
L. The United States should ac-
cord the guarantees of security that
it already has intimated it favored
-(presumably through interpreta-
ton of the Briand-K Kellogg anti
war treaty.
5. States which are members of
the League of Nations should en-
gage to fulfill all obligations under
Article XVI of the covenant.
(Article XVI provides that all
league members shall boycott any
member which resorts to war in
violation of its league engage
mentS.)
6. Arbitration should be obliga-
tory on all nations adhering to the
covenant of the league.
The French plan thus energies
as being based on mutual assistance
against an invader, with special
pledges among European nations
for such security against invasion.
1t looks toward the DEVELOPMENT
of an international super-army, and
for mutual consultation before war
is started. The latter provision
specially affects the United States.
Herriot predicted the French
delegates would go to Geneva hope
full of results.

rely on handshake."

Editor Times
ME local issue of the day seems
Il to be the subject of cutting
public expenses. The council finds
itself in the delicate and thankless
position Of deciding where the ak
shall fall
Two important subjects have
arisen. One is the idea of reducing
the school term to eight months:
the other is the proposed cut Of
Sunnysides budget from rate OF
az cents to 2 cents.
In round figures, this would be
about $4,000 worth of reduction to
be shouldered by Sunnyside. Low
erlng the school term is one evil;
cutting the SunnySide budget is an
other evil.
A word about Sunnyside. That
institution barely is getting by on
It's present appropriation. All en-
ployes have had salary cuts, and are
receiving what fairly might be
termed as minimal wages. There
fore, no further saving can be ex-
pected from this source.
Furthermore, there are no GREAT
ed positions at Sunnyside. Every
one on the pay roll has a specific
work to do daily. Therefore, no
further saving can be expected in
the way of eliminating employees.
Should the budget be cut, Sunny
side could meet the cut in one way
only - by wholesale discharge of
patients.
This means that a large number
of active T. B. cases will have to be
turned loose to become an addition
al possible source of infection to the
public. Sunnyside is dedicated to
the humane task of restoring health
to the unfortunate victims of tuber-
culosis; to, insofar as possible, segre-
gate active cases, and to educate
the public in prevention of tuber-
culosiS.
For the county to fail in this duty
now is to break the morale of those
who for many years have labored
to stamp out white plague.
With regard to cutting the school
term, clamor Of protest has fol-
lowed what many are pleased to
term "hamstringing the schools. .
How about "hamstringingn public
health?
That the ak must fall somewhere
Is certain. Let the council choose
the lesser two evils, and reduce the
school term. For the benefit Of the
public at large. and the school
children in particular, let us not add
any further hazards to health.
A BYSTANDER.
