Washington. Dec. 29. —(AP) —Presi-
dent Roosevelt's proposals for a new
international peace movement were
receieved today by France and Ger
many, who hold opposite views on
-how international peace may be main
tained, as direct support of their re
spective attitudes.
France thanked Mr. Roosevelt of
ficially for his stand, believing he had
given his wholehearted support to her
Franco-Germn and League of Nations
policies.
In Berlin, on the other hand? Ger
man official circles were equally cer
tain that Mr. Roosevelt was viewing
the question of disarmament as a
purely European affair.
“Roosevelt’s thought show pre
sent-day America is far from the ill
famed Geneva spirit,” said a German
foreign office spokesman. Germany
withdrew from Geneva on the ground
that France and her supporters block
ed Germany’s disarmament demands,
which call for German equality with
other nations.
