FRANCETOBOOST HERARNS BUDEE To Ask Reduction Parley at Geneva—Signs Pact With Poland. By the Associated Press. PARIS. September 7.—France, de eiding to ask for more than $275,000,- 000 additional to bolster her armed services, moved simultaneously today toward a new world disarmament effort. The cabinet drafted a new national defense bill to provide for an initial appropriation in 1937 of 4,200,000,000 francs (currently $276,360,000) to an- swer Germany's recent doubling of her universal conscription term. Then the ministers announced they would take the lead at the League of Nations meetings in Geneva this Fall for a general convention on “limita- tion and controlled reductions of armaments.” The cabinet, after & long meeting | with President Albert Lebrun at Elysee Palace, announced the bill opening up the 4,200,000.000-franc credits for im- provement and extension of fighting | equipment had been approved by lhe‘ ministers. It will be presented to Parliament in the Fall. Credits Increase Budget. The new credits will be in addition | to the regular 1936 national defense budget of 13,500,000,000 francs ($888,- 300,000). A cabinet communique stated: “The government, at the same time it takes measures which the security of France requires in the present state of Eu- rope, calls attention once again to the dangers of war which growing | military burdens constitute for peoples.” Therefore, the announcement said, the cabinet decided to ask a general convention for “limitation and con- trolled reduction of armaments” at Geneva this month.

Thus France plunged into a pro- | gram of feverish military activity de- | spite a fresh pledge of pedce from Premier Blum. The activity came in contrast with Blum’s statement before a mass meeting last night in which he declined to admit “war is inevitable” and pledged he would keep his country from conflict “to the last limit of my power.” Military Pact Signed. Last night France sealed a mili- tary pact with Poland. Gen. Ed- ward Rydz-Smigly, inspector general of the Polish army. from whom, mili- tary circles said, “the French army has no secrets,” concluded negoti- ations with diplomats, generals and bankers before returning to Warsaw. | He came to France for extended con- ferences after a similar visit to War- saw by the French army’s chief of staff. Financial and military agreements, described as of great importance, were signed after a dinner given by President Albert Lebrun in honor of Gen. Rydz-Smigly. Sources close to the government said Poland will be given credit in | France to purchase war supplies and possibly a direct loan to build up her army. Reinforcements of the Franco- Polish alliance of 1923, they said, would “end” Berlin's influence over * Warsaw.

Summing up his agricultural re- marks, he said: “We are going to have a farm policy that will serve the national welfare.” Turning to the Labor day portion of his speech, he paid tribute to “the brave spirit with which so many millions of working people are win- ning their way out of depression.” “Private enterprise,” he said, “is necessary to any nation which seeks to maintain the democratic form of government. In their (business men's) case, just as certainly as in the case of drought-stricken farmers, Government spending has saved. “Government having spent wisely to save it, private industry begins to take workers off the rolis of the Gov- ernment relief program.” Speaking of the work of the Em- ployment Service, he appealed to em- ployers and workers to take full ad- vantage of it. “This does not mean,” he said, “that there wil be any lessening of our efforts under W. P. A. and P. W. A. and other work relief programs until all workers have decent jobs in private employment at decent wages.” Hits Class Distinction.
