DECLINED BY FRANCE
COOMIIWES SECOND PROPOSAL
IEFUSED) BECAUSE OF
PREVIOUS PLANS
MEMORANDUM IS SENT
Cannot Consider Linitation Of Naval
Armaments Apart From Land And
Aerial Preparations,
(By Associated Press)
PARIS, April 4.-The French gov-
ernment today declined the American
invitation to be represented "in some1
fashion" at the three-power confer-
ence for the reduction of naval arma-
ments which is to meet at Geneva
with the United States, Great Britain
and Japan participating.
President Cool-
idge's second dis-
armament over-!
ture was turned
down for the
same reason giv-
en for rejecting,
the first one; the
fact that France
already is engag-
ed in armament
limitation discus-
sion under the
auspices of the
P2E5 CQ0.06a League of Na-,
tions. It also is
stated that from France's viewpoint,I
limitation of naval armaments cannot
be considered apart from land andI
aerial fighting force. A memorandum
containing the French refusal has
been turned over to the United States
embassy by the French foreign office.
It asserts that France cannot weaken
the authority of the League, which al-
ready has taken up the problem of
general disarmament, nor can France
compromise the principle of equality
of all nations, large or small.
"Despite the assurance which the j
Amnerican government has given con-
cerning the preoccupations which in-
spired its initative and the principles
which guided it," says the note, "the
government of the republic is unable
to modify its views on the proposition
of which it already has taken hold. ItI
continues to feel itself unable to con-
sider a positive participation ofj
France at the projected cor'ference of'
the United States, Great Britain and'
Japan."

Speaker Traces Art Of Bronte Sisters
To Their Revelation Of- World's
Mysterious Beauty
DESCRIBES ENVIRONMENT
"The Genius of the, Brontes" ac-
cording to Ernest de Selincourt, pro-
fessor of English language and litera-
ture at the University of Birmingham,
who spoke, yesterday in Natural Sci-
ence auditorium ,lies in their rich
revelation of the mysterious beauty
and magnificence of the world about
them to 'man. Although the stigma of
mid-victorianism has caused a wan-
ing in'the popularity of the works,
of the Bronte sisters in the last 251
years, Professor de Selincourt findsI
rare genius in theirrnovels.
"Raised in a literary atmosphere,"
and apart from the rest of the world,
the Bronte sisters: Charlotte, Emily
and Anne, early inherited a passion
for liberty. Such scorn of injustice,
contempt for conventions of society
and passion for freedom has not been
found in literature since the time of
Shelley and Byron," stated Professor
de Selincourt. "The outstanding point
of their genius is the intensity with
which they reveal inner experience."'
Charlotte Bronte in particular, was
one of the greatest painters of humanj
nature that the realm of novelists has
known. Her daily life was character-
ized by a repressed nautre; it was
through her art that she found ade-
quate expression of the exultation in
nature that she experienced. This
characteristic was common of the sis-
ters. and the characters of their
novels inevitably turn to nature for
solace in -time Of sorrow. They be-
lieved nature sympathetic, and be..j
lieved in submission to the natural
world about them. Books and society
were nothing to them compared to
nature.
Ludicrous passages in their works,
and a lack of an artistic touch is over-
come, Professor de Selincourt be-
lieves, in their vivid imagination, and
the communication of nature and man
which it produces. They would sub-
stitute the laws of divine and natural
instinct for the laws of society, and
