FRANCE AND GERMANY
DISARMAMENT FEARED.
LONDON, 22nd March. The Paris correspondent of the "Daily Express" says that Viscount Cecil as a result of his Geneve visit has fallen out with M. Paul Boncour, who was a French delegate to the League, regarding the French conception of disarmament. It is understood that M. Boncour's statements provided most of the material on which Mr. A. B. Houghton based his report to President Coolidge. The "Daily Express" understands that the French Government will refuse to consider any form of disarmament which does not take into account the fecundity of other nations, as well as their industrial situation and the work accomplished in chemical research. "Frankly; France is scared by the growth of the German population and is seeing nightmares.''
