POLAND BACKS GERMANY
NO BELIEVER IN SECURITY PACTS
4
EDEN PREPARES FOR WARSAW TALKS
Although it is believed that Poland will oppose. an Eastern European security pact, and that she will align herself with Germany in the argument that bilateral pacts are of more value, Mr. Anthony Eden is proceeding about his business in Warsaw in an attempt to strengthen the peace edifice of the world.
Meanwhile, Signor Mussolini has ordered pre- parations to be made for the important conference at Stresa where the former War Allies will be the principal nations represented. It is here that the policy of Britain, France, Italy and the peoples of the Balkans will endeavour to determine the best means of preventing hostilities in Europe.
The United States, declares Representative John McSwain, of South Carolina, must build a tremendous air force in order to escape becoming embroiled in war. He considers the European situation extremely grave.
Warsaw. April 1.
Mr. Anthony Eden comm:nces hia talks with Colons! Josef Beck, Polish Foreign Minister, at 11 o'clock to-morrow.
The scope of the discussions will include all the points men-| tlontd in the Anglo-French com- mmunique of February 3.

ABUSE OF RIGHTS IN MEMEL

(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1894. Received, April 2, 10.30 a.m.)
London, April 1.
Sir John Simon, the Foreign Minister, to-day told the House of Commons that Great Britain, France and Italy had strongly urged Lithuania against the abuse of her rights in Memel, pointing out that "the present situation in Memel is incompatible with the principle of autonomy guaranteed to Memel.”
The three Powers therefore consider that Lithuania should terminate such a situation as soon as possible.
Germany has been aroused to high indignation by the death sentence against the four pro-German con- spirators who murdered one of those who disclosed their plot to seize control in Memel. A Lithuanian court passed sentence.-United Press.
