...immense significance. Premier Edouard Daladier called a special meeting of the French Cabinet at Rambouillet to discuss the precise measures of disarmament France might be prepared to take in return for the security resulting from international arms control. Meanwhile restive Paris newspapers raised the bugaboo of Germany's threat last year to withdraw from and wreck the Disarmament Conference unless granted "equality of armaments" (TIME, Aug. 1, 1932).
