United Press Association—By Electric Tri* graph—Copyright. (Received March 15, 1 p.m.) - PARIS, March 14. Likening the Disarmament Conference to a casino in which every nation is playing the game for the maintenance of its political prestige, M. Henri Ben-" Chairman of die Foreign Aff-- -iiu e e o£ the Senate, -wan , c and Britain to.hold on I. lefensive forces; otherwise thei,. .i no way of escaping a conflagration. M. Beri. enger considers that Mr. Mac Donald and M. Paul Boncour can achieve nothing useful for peace at' the Geneva Disarmament Conference, which, being the hybrid daughter of Americanism and the League of Nations, is at last forced to unveil its original sins.
The newspapers criticise Mr. Mac Donald, some describing him as a go-between in the efforts of Ger* many and Italy to blackmail France. They reiterate that in the face of a united passionate Germany it is- impossible to reduce the only force in ■Europe capable of making an ag« gressor think twice.
All the papers agree that di? armament is definitely doomed.
