LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT
Paris, Dec. 8.
The French Government, for the first time, is in possession of Herr Hit- ler's demands in the matter of disarmament and the League of Na- tlons, a despatch having been received from the French Ambassador in Berlin.
It is learned from authorlta. tive sources at the Quai D'Orsay that the French Government intends to send an official reply, although the reply is likely to bei delayed for some little time. It is indicated that the Chnutemps Government cannot well discuss the issues until the financial debate which may possibly bring about its downfall- has terminated and it is indicated that M. Paul
Boncour will also want to hear the report that Lord Tyrrell, the British Am- bassador, brings back from London regarding Britain's attitudo tówards Ger
many's demands.
The exchange of views be- tween M. Paul Boncour and M. Benes, the Czecho Slovakian Foreign Minister, due to take place next Thursday will also precede the despatch of the French reply.

The reply will be delivered through M. Poncet, the
