SANCTITY OF THE PEACE TREATIES
FINANCIAL AID REMINDER
London, Sept. 18.
GERMANY'S WITHDRAWAL from the Disarma- Uraent Conference is emphatically condemned in a British official statement issued by the Foreign Office on the subject of Germany's claims to arms equality. The British statement dubs the raising of an acute politi- cal controvery as unwise and untimely in view of the financial concessions that her creditors have recently made to Germany.
Britain rejects any idea that the eventual disarma- ment convention will mean the abrogation of Part Five of the Peace Treaty. Britain, like France, will discoun- tenance a disregard of Treaty obligations.
The aims at Geneva, the Foreign Office statement- goes on, are the securing of the largest possible reduc- tion of armaments in the case of the more heavily arm- ed Powers, and, at the very least, no material increase for lightly armed States.
