DISARMAMENT
THE FRENCH PLAN ABOLISHING PROFESSIONAL ARMIES. NO OFFICIAL COMMENT IN LONDON. (British Official Wireless.) (Received 1, 12.30 p.m.) Rugby, Oct. 31. The newspapers display great interest in the proposals of the French disarmament plan for abolishing pro--fessional armies nnd the conversion of all the land forces of Europe into a militia recruited by conscription for short periods of service. Britain will not be asked to institute conscription or to alter the present organisation of the British army in any way, and the proposal is intended as a basis for Continental armies only. Until the French plan is developed in fuller details, particularly in relation to Germany’s claim for equality status, and in regard to the proposals for aerial and naval disarmament, no official comment is available in London. It is anticipated that the complete scheme put forward by the French will be outlined at Geneva on November 4.
