It was likewise proposed that Germany should undertake not to

First Impressions In Germany
("Hong Kong Day Press" Specia)
Berlin, Mar, 20. The first impression made by "the Four Power Memorandum in the Wilhelm-Strasse appears to be Eone too favourable. Although it is pointed out in official quarters that there has not yet been time enough to make a thorough ex- amination of this lengthy and compllented document, the opinion seems to be that it is not drafted a manner particularly calculat- to promote an understanding. Especially with regard to the proposed international police force in the border zone on German soll, the question raised is, what mea sures are contemplated in this re-. spect, on the French side of the border, in order to satisfy Get- many's claim to equality of rights, which has now been recognised in the.

Powers, and France and Belgium. In order to meet the possibility of unprovoked aggression.
FAIR AND REASONABLE Mr. Eden described the Locarno Powers' proposals as fair and rea- sonable. It was very reasonable to ask Germany to make a con- tribution to the situation which her action had created, particular- ly In view of the moderation dis--
played by France and Belgium.
It was proposed that the Ava signatories of the Locarno Treaty negotiate on the basis of the sever- al proposals in the German memorandum, besides the re- vision of the Rhineland's status, and with a view to drafting mu- tual assistance pacts open to all the signatories of Locarno.
The next stage would be a world conference, he went on, under the auspices of the League of Nations,

The four powers resolve to have the German Government submit to the International Court of Justice, at The Hague, the arguments which speak of the irreconcilabli- ity of the Franco-Russian Fact crder and security whlie the with the Locarno Pact, and to Hague Court is making its decision.
