The conference nas reached the stage of considering concrete pro posals for arms reductions ,which it is agreed are tied up inextricably with the measures for economic re covery being sifted at the Roosevelt talks.

Davis, United States am bassador-at-large, is here to put the same vigor in this conference that President Roosevelt is injecting in the broader fields of the problems. The main task is to allay fears of European nations that their national soil may be invaded. The resumption of disarmament ef forts is centered about Franco-Ger man relations- The opinion is express ed by most delegates that if France and Gennany would reach an arma ment agreement the whole problem of disarmament would take on a new aspect and soon find a solution.
