Paris, Oct. 30.—(U. P.)—France believes that her approval of the Geneva protocol on arbitration, se- crity and disarmament she has fin ally and definitely refuted the charges of militarism and imperlal- Ism. Those charge« have been repeated since the World War, both In other capitale of Europe and In North and South Aimerica. The removal from Franco of the onus of militarism and Imperialism is likely to go down as one of the biggest accomplishments of the ad ministration of Edouard Herrlot, the radical Premier of France. French diplomata hope that this change of policy brought about by ■Harriot—If there has b%en any fun damental change of policy rather 'than an explanation of France's real Intentions—will have a telling ef fect especially In the United States. The Quai d'Orsay (French For eign Office) points out that France has put herself on record by her peaceful policies al the Fifth Assem bly of the league of Nations recent ly at Geneva. With hardly a mo ment’s hesitation, the French Gov- ernment approved, and her dele gates signed, the Geneva protocol on arbitration, security and disarma ment.

The French Foreign Office also points out theee Important steps that have been taken by France in the direction of disarmament and world peace. During the lost five years France has reduced by 50 per cent the length of the period for ob ligatory military service: reduced by *25 per cent the strength of her mil itary forces: and reduced by 50 per cent her naval forces. None of the nation« that is so radically In favor of disarmament and so apqvosed to mllitarlizm and Imperialism, has gone so far as France, it is said here.

Economists Study Regulations Be tween Britain and Germans Washington, Oct. 30.—(U.

Success or failure of Britlsdi and German traders manufacturers and financiers to work together to mut ual advantage is of great importance to the United State«, they say.
