DISARMAMENT PLAN
FRANCE'S OBSESSION
GUARANTEED SECURITY
PARIS, 27th October. Establishment of an international aerial police, international control of military budgets, and the manufacture Of arms, and suppression of pseudomilitary police forces are among -the proposals believed to be included in the Frerfch disarmament plan which, if adopted by the.'Disarmament Conference on 3rd November,' will probably result in at least a 20 per cent, reduction in the French military estimates. ' This forecast is based on a report on the disarmament plan adopted at a meeting of the committee of the Radical Party. . .
In reference to arms equality the report says: "Germany, renouncing all intentions to Tearm, would take her normal place in the European .international framework. Equality of rights is logically related to equality of security and the renunciation, of internal guarantees. Security must be accompanied by international guarantees." ■
The plan envisages a consultative pact with the United States.
The report is particularly severe on organisations constituting armies under the pretext of being political - police, though it admits that it may be necessary to combine the regular army and militia.
