Informed sources said the program,
which Premier Albert Sarraut's cabi-
net approved yesterday and which
Flandin intended to submit to the
League Council, included:
l. A request to the other Locarno
powers-Great Britain, Belgium and
Italy-to seek action against the Reich
under the League covenant.
2. A refusal to accept any fortifi-
cation of the Rhineland, bordering on
France and Belgium.
3. An absolute rejection Of Hitler's
proposal for four-month negotiation
of new, separate peace pacts, to be
substituted by Frances policy of a
collective security system.
Flandin would not wait until he
arrived in Geneva. official sources
said, but would begin pressing For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden for
firmer British support Of France
while they were travelling to the
League center today by train.
Confer With Titulescu.
Before his departure Flandin ar
ranged also for a conference with
Foreign Minister Nicolas Titulescu of
Rumania, who is in Paris, on the new
Austrian service law, which was ex-
pected to be discussed at Geneva.
A group of French Army leaders,
at the same time, turned to London
to work out details of the Anglo
Franco-Belgian military accord under
the March l9 agreement.
These sources indicated France S
experts would seek to learn how many
British and Belgian troops could be
massed on the frontiers to ward Oh
any German assault.
An official communique said the
cabinet approved yesterday Flandin S
proposed constructive plan of action
for peace" to be submitted to the
League Council.
While pressing this plan on the
League, informed sources said, France
would attempt at the same time to
strengthen its military lineup by
seeking an abolition of sanctions
against Italy.

tails Of Flandin's peace plan officially
but informed sources said it called for
a kind of European League of Ma
ticnS" within the general League.
A short document of about IS arti-
cles, the plan was understood to pro-
vide for an invitation to all European
powers to sign one pact, calling for
immediate military assistance against
any nation which crosses another's
frontiers"
An international force of motorized
troops, comprising units from each
country participating. would be placed
under League control to act as "shock
troops" against any aggressor
