FRENCH PLAN FOR PEACE

No Hegemony in

Mediterranean

Armament

Control

Also Essential

Paris, June 23.

One of the most essential pillars of the European peace structure was the recognition of the necessity for association of all Mediterranean states in an agreement guaranteeing that no hegemony would be established in that sphere.

This was the contention of M. Yves Delbon, the French statesman, speaking in the Chamber of Deputies to-day in respect to the preservation of security.

He hoped, he said, that an agreement would be reach- ed in the West of Europe, ending the crisis which began. on March 7, but this did not depend upon France alone. France was persuaded that Italy would collaborate in these tasks, M. Delbos said.

Just previously he had remarked that the continuation uf sanctions could not be more than a symbolic gesture, without rent effectiveness, indicating the view that their useful ness had paused.

He urged Germany to remember that France had cause to doubt that nation's

in sy god intentions, particularly

the violation of treaties.

He recalled that Germany had not yet replied to the British noty asking for clucidation on points of the German peace plan, presented weeks ago..

Favours Disarmament France, stated M. Delbos, favoured progressive universal disarmament, controlled by the community of na tions, without neglecting the necessi vies of national defence.

France would demand the control | and manufacture war material by: an international committee sitting at Geneva, he went nà.

In order to improve-the-general economic situation, France would de mand the rummoning of a commnission

to study European unity, as urged by the late Mr. Aristide Briand." This commission would include all Euro- pean states, whether they were 'mem- bers of the League of Nations or not. Thus Germany's participation would, be possible.

Philadelphia, June 23.

"Stripped of all camouflage the issue is this: Shall we continue the New Deal which rescued the country from disaster or despair, or shall the Government be turned back to 'the old dealers' who wrecked it?"

This was the choice put before the Democratic Party's National Convention by the Postmaster- General, Mr. James Farley, to-day.

Mr. Farley, who is chairman of the Democratic National Committee, opened the national convention with a fighting speech, broadcast throughout the nation. Mr. Farley declared that the Republican platform for the presidential election was unsurpassed in platitudes and vague declarations.
