French To Declare

Policy On

Rearming Germany

Paris, Oct. 22.

The French Council of Ministers will tomor row consider the terms of a declaration of French policy on German rearmament to be made to the National Assembly by the Prime Minister, M. Rene Fieven, on Tuesday afternoon.

Together with the Foreign Minister, M. Robert Schuman, the National Defence Minister, M. Jules Moch, and the Minister of Justice, M. Rene Mayer, the Premier spent most of today drafting this document which, it was learned from usually well- informed sources, will embody a new suggestion that has been freely discussed in political circles as "the Schuman Army."

The French Government and said tonight, "We are in com- most French Deputies are on-plete agreement or the ideas". xious not to adopt a purely M.
