GERMAN FRENCH DISARMAMENT IS
 NOT PROMISING
French Leaders Have Be- gun to Make Charges
 About German Armies

Paris. Dec 12.-UP)-Charges that Germany has an effective fighting force of 2,72O,0OO men mad is steadily increasing its war ex- penditures were made today as di- rect French-German disarmament negotiations proceeded here and at Berlin. General Eugene Debeney. former army chief of stan, made the chrages in the newspaper Echo de Paris. Debeney alleged that Germany really had 100000 trained Reichswehr or regular army men. The remainder he calculated as follows: Nazi defense troops, 12O.- 900: NaZi storm troopers, 1,000,- 900; World War veterans under 40 years of age, 100000.
 Though the German 1932-33 war budget showed an apparent de- crease, there was actually an in- crease in the expenditures f6r war materials, Debeney charged. as wages were cut to offset the in- creaseS.
 It was reported authoritatively today that Joseph Paul-Boncour, foreign minister. had ordered the French ambassador. Andre Fran cois-Poncet to tell Chancellor Adolf Hitler that even the present pre- liminary negotiations were useless if Germany insisted on Hitler's re- cent demand for a Reichswehr to- taling 300,000 instead of the 10O,- 900 authorized by the Versailles treaty.
 The cabinet met ,all morning to- day, studying the disarmament problem. Information before il was reported to be that besides an increase in army strength Germany sought the right to build six inch guns, submarines fighting airplanes and battleships. In addition to seeking Germany's exact aims the government wants to find Great Britain's position. A communique issued after today's cabinet said that Foreign Minister Paul-Bon- cour reported the latest French German developments but that nc decisions were taken.

 Lowry member of the special alcohol control committee is salo to have drafted the committees Recommendations for a $2.6O levy tariff bargaining policy on imports and revenue sharing with states which refrain from gallonage taxes
 It was reported that Lowry would propose q $2.20 levy in view of the congressional opposition which has developed to the higher tax.
 The tariff bargaining suggestion was generally favorably received bv members of the two committees, < but opposition was developing ! against the plan for sharing 20 per cent of total federal liquor reVe- nues with states which refrain from gallonage taxes. Representative Crowther, republican. New York. said the constitutionality of such u plan was questionable and that only by conference of represen- tativcs of all states could an ac- ss eepted revenue distribution plan De worked out.
 The ways and means and finance committees expect to conclude hearings on liquor tax Legislation tomorrow. Representatives of the s industry and economists are scheduled to follow Choate. an1 Lowry. with members of congress the last witnesses.

 At the present time the city has no floating indebtedness. There- fore, the $1.5OO,0O0 loan to be au- thorized tomorrow by the finance board will be the city's only out standing temporary loan. The low rate of interest is regarded as a very lucky stroke for the city and is bound to attract statewide in- terest. Other cities in the state have envied the low rates given Waterbury, this fine treatment from New York bankers being ac- corded the local administration be- cause of it's recognized excellent handling of finances. It will be recalled that in other recent bor- rowings Waterbury has been able to get from New Yark banks in- terest rates. despite a greatly de- pressed market. that made officials in other cities and towns in the state sit up and take notice.

starvation and war program,
these proposals have been re-
jected by the leaders of the
Socialist Party. The representatives
of the united May Day committee,
with a proposal for one May Day
demonstration were barred from the
Socialist May Day conference. They
must wait for instructions from the
End International before they can
take any united action, they say.
The consideration of the Socialist
leaders for the End International is
very touching. There was no waiting"
for decisions from the End Interna-
tional when the S. P. leaders de-
cided to join the united front with
the bankers and rabbis Of the Am
erican Jewish Congress. They only
have to wait when the unity OF the
workers is the issue.
C. P. L. A. Evades Issue
The Conference for Progressive
Labor Action has SO far evaded a
bold and open stand for UNITED
STRUGGLES. They in words have
endorsed united struggle, but in deeds
they try to stand between the Socialist
Party, which rejects unity, and the
Communist Party, which has firmly
taken the lead in the effort to realize
q solid united fighting front of the
masses. The c. P. L. A. on April 18th
informed us that they have now or
ganized a Provisional Joint May Day
Committee of their own, instead of
throwing all forces into the mobiliza-
ton for one powerful united May
Day. This centrist policy weakens the
struggle to forge one fighting front
and effectively plays into the hands
of the S. P. leaders. The United May
Day Committee, however, has urged
and continues to urge one May Day
action. Ample representation to all
groups in the management of the May
Day demonstration and full discussion
of all proposals can still be afforded
to those groups which sincerely wish
to participate.
