thesis that all differences must be settled by conciliatory means Sir Austen's about-face Is all the more significant in that tt came after a bitter struggle in the London Cabinet In which Viscount Cecil long the leading British delegate to the League of Nations appeared as the defender of the Locarno agreements and as a champion of the idea that the Allied armies must be withdrawn from the Rhine while Sir Austen became the mouthpiece of the pro-Poincare policy The out-come was a victory of the anti-Russian party which wants to force Berlin to break its close working agreement with Moscow Strange Turns of Diplomacy Behind these shifts of the International balance lie some diplomatic turns and twists as strange as any ever furnished by the peculiar diplomacy of Europe To get an understanding of them it might be well to turn1 back to the beginning and recall the Locarno treaty and what followed For two years Locarno has been held up to the world as a symbol that Europe had changed its ways and had set out on the paths of peace We were told as I have said before that France and Germany had agreed they would settle all troubles by arbitration and also that Britain and Italy stood as the guarantors of France against German aggression But as I warned my readers at the time the close analysis did not take full-stock in these representations They saw large holes la the treaty Iq the first place the arbitration provisions were cpnfuslng France and Germany undertook "In no to go to war with each other but there were several exceptions permitting war and in case of diplomacy apd conciliation failing the only remaining recourse was the IS REASON GIVEN Chamberlain Backs 'vPoincares Position That Occupation Is Required to Insure Payment MEANS INDEFINITE HOLDING By EUGENE YOUNG Less than two years ago Sir Austen Chamberlain the British foreign minister returned from Locarno to receive from King George the Order of the Garter as a recognition of his tremendous services to peace in promoting the Locarno agreements for arbitration of all differences between Germany and France Stresemann and Briand the German and French foreign ministers publicly embraced at Locarno as a proof that their nations at last were friends and later they received the Nobel peace prizes for their accomplishment Now Sir Austen who has openly said that "the spirit of Locarno has goes to the of the League of Nations at Geneva committed to the idea that France is entitled to keep her troops on the Rhine as a means of mfordng the Dawes plan of reparations payments He has thus lined himself up' with Premier Folncare and the French militarists who hold that WEST MT STERLING BUS LINE One Raead Trip llelly Leave ML Starling a Arrive Frcnchbnrg am arrive ExcXi iifts vn Arrive

unanimous vote If there were no unanimous decision in Council then the nations concerned would- be free to do aa they pleased under Article IS of the League covenant which provides that under such circumstances "the members of the League reserve to themselves the right toUk such action as they consider necessary" See No Real Guarantee of Aid Another weakness of the pact lay In the reservation made by the French that It was In no way to effect the validity and terms oi the Treaty of Versailles Since most of the disagreements with Franco would arise out of the enforcement of this treaty It was a certainty that Germany could not remain satisfied to rest her future under such a system of limited arbitration Finally France In spite of all the efforts of Briand to convince her was never satisfied that the Locarno pact bound Britain and Italy to come to her aid In case of a German attack Frenchmen have had good reason for taking 1 such a position The supposed guarantee is about ee subtle a piece of diplomatic writing as ever appeared in an international compact In Article IV there is a description of violations which would obligate Britain and Italy to come to the aid of the attacked nation But all they undertake to do la "Immediately to come to the help of the party against whom such violation or breach has been directed aa soon aa the said power has been able to satisfy Itself that this violation coir-stitutes an unprovoaed act of aggression and that immediate action is As the French military-men end others have seen it this provision would enable Britain and Italy lo weigh the pros and cone of responsibility for an outbreak of hostilities and they might weigh thee: until the Germans were in Parle Gave Lip Service to the Pact Hence France has never taken the pact as a settlement but has given It lip service for two reasons: (1) With finances in a bad way it would have been disastrous to start trouble with the British German and American financiers and statesmen who backed tho plan (2) Briand was pursuing the Idea of a close Industrial and political agreement with Germany Now that France has settled her finances and Poincare has overcome the Brtund party these reasons no longer exist and there Is general scorn for Locarno Britain has also known just what Locarno meant but her statesmen clung to It as long as possible because it offered the only hope of satisfying Germany and getting her to break- with Russia If they could induce France to quit the Rhine the change might come But Germany's refusal to break with Russia and support the British plans for "a sanitary around that country and the continued evidence that Germany means to bring Russia Into the League of Nations and work with her there have disillusionized London statesmen The imperialists have decided they must play with France at least until Germany Is brought to a different state of mind Poincare maneuvered things so it was necessary for the British government to support one side or the other He was determined to'kmep troops on the Rhine because Germany had not fulfilled the treaty of Versailles and he plainly 'asked whether Britain was prepared to take sides against France on such an Issue The result was a conflict In the London cabinet and the decision for France and against Germany New Position of Britain The new position of Britain was made clear In a note which Sir Austen Chamberlain sent to the French foreign office On the authority of the British embassy In Paris It contained these points: (l) Britain will adhere to all undertakings of the treaty of Ver-salllee She has never considered the total evacuation of the Rhineland and her flag will fly there as long as the French flag does (2) Overman can have nothing to do with fixing the number of the troops In the Rhineland and despite the Locarno agreement It Is a matter for the Allies alone (3) Britain does not agree with France that If Is necessary for troops to be kept on the Rhine as a matter of security for France because of the Locarno agreement but the occupation Is continued 'as a means of assuring reparations payments 1 have taken the liberty of rearranging the points In the embassy's summary but without violating the contents In order to make the position clear It is a' plain acceptance of the Poincare position that Germany must not be relieved of military occupation until she gives satisfactory guarantees that she will fulfill her reparations obligations Nothing could bo more satisfactory to the French militarists and nationalists They have been demanding continuation of the occupation on the grounds that Germany has been secretly preparing for war but their case Is somewhat thin and open to the objection that entrance' Into the League of Nations was a guarantee against war-making In the future But' reparations gives them clear case for indefinite continuation of the garrisons Germany is pledged by the Dawes plan to pay more than 1600000000 annually for an indefinite number of years and the total reparations end end of the payments cannot be fixed until France assents And Britain now tacitly agrees that the troops can remain until collection la as- sured League Under Great Strain We shall see the results of this agreement In the meeting of the League of Nations While the Rhine garrisons will be reduced the French will withdraw few of their fighting troops taking chiefly the uniformed supernumeraries of the army and leaving about 60000 effectives This will be far from satisfactory to Germany and having been notified she has no voice In the matter she will use the League to try to -get something mors France and Britain will be bound to resist such efforts Berlin may even repudiate donipieteiy the Locarno pact and declare herself free to act ae she pleases Meantime Poland has started an attack on the eastern flank of Germany She lias decreed that her Customs tariffs shall be increased 100 per cent at the end of four months for all countries which have not made commercial treaties with her For five years there has been a deadlock between Germany and Poland in this matter Berlin has tried to force Warsaw to concede a rearrangement of the Eastern frontiers as the price of trade concessions and has caused muck distress in Poland by refusal to make terms on a purely trade basis But Poland upheld by France has refused to be forced into concessions In Silesia and the Danzig corridor Now that Germany Is faced with the necessity of paying heavy Dawes indemnities next year Poland is coming Into a position to cause distress In that country and so she has retaliated This situation will have lts own Important bearing on the negotiations at Geneva (Copyright 1927 Eugene Young) 8 Stammering is very often found In
