ARMS CONFERENCE
MAY CLOSE TODAY
French and British Will Make
Effort to Get Americans
to Agree.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER,

BY Cable TO The Star.
LAUSANNE, June l8.-An effort to
wind up the Geneva Disarmament Con-
ference on a minimum program Of &C
complishment will be made tomorrow
The French and British seem to be
agreed on such program. Tomorrow
at Geneva they will try to get the
Americans to agree.
Premier Edouard Herriot has gone
back to Paris for two days, returning to
Lausanne Monday morning, but Brit
ish Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
and Joseph Paul-Boncour, French Min
lister Of War, are meeting Ambassador
Hugh S. Gibson. chairman, and Norman
H. Davis of the American delegation
fo- three-power conference tomorrow.
Sir John Simon, Foreign Minister of
Great Britain, went to Geneva to pre-
pare for it last night and Dino Grandi,
Italian Foreign Minister, is going there
today.
What the French and British have
in mind is believed to be: O-Aboli-
ton of gas, incendia-y and bacteriologi-
cal warfare; disqualification OF
ornaments at the present levels in a
general treaty for five years; Ono
replacement Of big tanks. big guns, big
bombing planes and big submarines
during this period; GA budgetary cut
CT 10 per cent; (5)-Some sort Of gen.
eral peace declaration, and (6)-Pro-
vision for a new conference looking to-
ward real reduction five years hence.
The Franco-British plan is to get the
United States to agree to this and then
negotiate with the Germans and Ital-
ians. However, the American position Is
such that the program can be accepta-
BILE only if it is accompanied by real
reduction in the numbers Of men under
arms, as suggested in the American ef-
fectives' plan.
The French and British now SEEM
ingly want to dodge this American sug-
gestion, or at least postpone it until
the next conference.
Germany wants reparations Cancelled,
the war-guilt clause removed from the
treaty of Versailles. a free hand from
France to negotiate frontier revision
with Poland and removal of the YER
sailles disarmament clauses into a new
general disarmament treaty. Italy would
also agree to European union and a
peace declaration and five-year stabili-
cation Of ornaments. it is said, If it
gets from France recognition of its
theoretical naval parity and free hand
to negotiate special positions in the
Balkans and AbySsinia.
