Dissatisfied with a decision to give

strength of the Germany army, the
German delegation at the disarma-
ment conference Friday insisted that
French sport associations should be
estimated in fixing the size of the

that there is a difference between
youths armed with bombs and ma
chine guns and youths armed with
tennis racquets and bicycles, as are
the members of the French sports
groups.
The Polish delegate commended that
if the German thesis were accepted
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
should be counted as q member of
the English army because he is
golfer.
Delegates predicted that, because OF
continuing depression, the conference
either would adjourn after public ad-
mission that it was unable to obtain
an agreement or would continue with
Germany making reservations con-
corning unacceptable clauses in the
convention that is being discussed.
