Paris, March 10.
Following last night's conference between the French Foreign Minister, M. Pierre Flandin, and the Belgian Prime Minister, M. Paul van Zeeland, Belgium has pledged her support to France's demand for the withdrawal of German troops from the Rhineland before any negotiations are undertaken to create a new security pact based on the German proposals.
M. Albert Sarraut, the French Prime Minister, in a press conference to-day, declared:
"France will go very far to force Germany to keep her treaty obligations.
"We will not negotiate while France is under the shadow of German guns."
He said the French consider their position very strong, since Chancellor Adolf Hitler violated both the Locarno and Versailles treaties when he sent troops into the demilitarised zone;
In the meantime France la active un both the diplomatie and military fronts. Russia, the Little Entente and the Balkan Entente, which in a formidable military combination, have į formally notified France that they will strongly support the French de- mands through the League of Na- tions.

BALDWIN PLEADS FOR EUROPEAN GOOD-WILL
London, March 9. The object of British foreign policy is to secure peace for the peoples of the Empire and the nations of the world, and the means to this end are collective security and friendship, declared Mr. Stanley Baldwin, the Prime Minister, when opening the Defence Debate in the House of Commons this afternoon.
There had been disappointing results in every effort made to secure international dis- armament, he said, and the growth of armaments in other countries left Britain no alternative but to review the state of her defence forces in order to enable her to fulfil her obligations under the League of Nations Covenant and safeguard herself.
