Stresa, April 11.
It is learned here that Great Britain, France and Italy have agreed to allow nothing to bar them from a common course of action with respect to Germany's announced intention of re-arming, in contravention of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The powers are convinced that any disagreement would be playing into German hands.
No modifications, therefore, will be made in the text of the French memorandum to the League asking for a "show-down" on Germany's flouting of the Versailles Treaty.
Great Britain is reported to have exercised a deterring influence upon the Italian and French de- legates, who are anxious for
more vigorous action
against Germany.
It is learned on good authority that Germany, Poland and Russia will eventually be invited to attend
a second conference of the powera
