It is argued that so long as the Dossier remains secret 1t Is calcu- lated as q powerful deterrent to Germany's ambitions, and Is cal- culated also to cause the Nazi gov- ernment to hesitate before with drawing in dissatisfaction from tho disarmament conference.
 French officials believe that pulp lication would affect world opinion to such degree that the German government would be forced to pledge drastic curtailment of "sus- poet" industrial activities at her leading steel and chemical works.
 The Dossier's contents will be re- vealed only in the last extremity, that Is to say if the peace of Eur ope Is unquestionably believed to be threatened, 1t was said.
 Should Germany withdraw from the disarmament conference, France would regard 1t as 0 real threat to peace, 1t was believed. :.

 France has insisted that thero must be q four-year period of in- ternational armament control, dur ing which Germany would demon strate its faithfulness to the arma- ment limitations of the Versailles treaty.
 At the end of that period, tt was anticipated that Germany would be allowed more military strength, while France would re- duoe It's arms. bringing the two na- tions nearer parity.
 Germany. however. rejected this formula and insisted that during the four-year period of inspection it be allowed to have a few "sam- pie arms" of types forbidden by tho Versailles treaty-military air. planes, heavy artillery. tanks. etc.
 France rejected Germany's counter plea.
 Recent statements by British and French officials indicated that if Germany withdrew from the disarmament conference tho former allies would hold the reich r4gidly to the Versailles treaty.
 Germany's break with the league, recalled tho high hope for peace in the fall of 1926, when Germany re-entered the League of Nations.
 Germany's reception into the league was hailed as Q portont for world peace. The event climaxed years of efforts by tho two great conciliators" Foreign Minister Aristide Briand of Franco and Foreign Miiser Gustav Stresse- mann of Gefmany--to lead their countries along tho paths of peace.
