The three Powers had further agreed to continue actively to study the proposed air pact for western Europe.
He also recalled that Italy and Britain re-firm their Locarno obligation, and added that we did not condone Germany's action in restoring conscription, but, on the contrary, we made it plain that we regarded it as a "grave cause ör unsettlement and a blow to the international organisation peace.
