Paris, Sept. 1.
At a meeting of the Army Commission yesterday afternoon, M. Edouard Daladier, the Premier, reported on the international situation, which he described as "serious."
He gave a comparative table of European armaments, showing the effectives now under arms, and the effectives available on mobilization for Germany, Italy, and Hungary, and the total forces which could be put in the field by France, Great Britain, Soviet Russia and Czechoslovakia.
Dealing with the manufacture of armaments, M, Daladier declared that, thanks to the new decrees, the production of factories engaged in national defence work would be speeded up to approach that of neighbouring countries.
M. Georges Bonnet, Foreign Minister, yesterday received Mr. William C, Bullitt, American Ambassador, and M. Jacques Souritz Soviet Ambassador.—Reuter.
