J. A. Cravens 3 Power Front On Disarmament Sought By French Point Out German Moves To British And U. S. Envoys.

PARIS. Sept. 18 The desire lor a three-power front on disarmament motivated French leaders today as American and British representatives Joined them in conversations preliminary to the reopening of the arms conferences In Geneva next Monday. French newspapers and legislators pointed to Nazi demonstrations at the border and what they call the possibility of the early completion of a German air fleet as requiring a firm stand against any loosening of pacts governing armaments. From the French point of view, the current talks will have three objects: To compare notes on charges that Germany is re-arming; to discuss a course should Germany refuse to accept a control plan which French opinion considers prerequisite to the acceptance of any disarmament treaty, and to get backing for a French proposal for international arms control before armaments are reduced.

Ambassador Norman H. Davis Is representing the United States and Captain Anthony Eden the British foreign office. Speaking for France are Premier Edouard Daladier and Foreign Minister Joseph Faul-Boncour. Reports that the United States will support the control scheme and a change in the British attitude since a demand was made to stop a "propaganda bombardment of Austria" have hardened official France But the feeling is general in France that the disarmament conference will enter a crucial period this fall because of the fear of Nazi Germany.
