Paris, Oct. 27.
THE GENERAL LINES OF A FRENCH DISARMA- MENT PLAN to be presented to the Disarma- ment Conference Bureau on November 3 is believed to be indicated in a Report which has just been adopted by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Radical Party,
The plan covers the Tardieu scheme for inter-
national military forces, but advances much further in concession to Germany. Equality of status is virtually conceded. It is claimed that the French plan would be more effective in achieving real disarmament than the Hoover plan.
The Report says that Germany in renouncing all intentions to re-arm, would take its normal place in the European and inter- national framework, and 'declares that at the least, a twenty per cont. reduction in the French Government Estimates for mili. tary purposes would be attained
