DISARMAMENT TALKS.
FRENCH POLICY UNCHANGED,
PARIS, December C,
The president of the Disarmament Conference, Mr. Arthur Henderson, and the French Foreign Minister, M. PaulBoncour, conversed regarding a modification of the French attitude on disarmament. They agreed that the Geneva committees could be usefully employed.
M. Paul-Boncour announced that France's attitude was the same as defined at Geneva on October 14. On that occasion it was indicated that it was the view of the French Government that a trial disarmament period of four years was certainly necessary. It was not only justified by the uncertainty of the present political situation, but also as a test of the value of control. The aim of a convention was not only to prevent any nation from rearming, but to make other Powers disarm. That was the only possible way to reach equality of status between the nations.
