LOCARNO POWERS SHAPE PROTECTIVE SCHEME
Berlin, March 22.
Germany's reply to the Locarno Powers' sugges- tions for the reconstruction of the peace structure in Europe will probably be given to Mr. Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary, by Herr von Ribbentrop, the German chief declegate at the London conversations, on Monday. But that is the earliest date it can be expected.
It remains uncertain whether the rejection of the proposals will be complete or whether the plan may be used as a basis for negotiation.
It is considered certain that Germany won't accept the memorandum as it stands or agree to the suggestion that foreign troops should act as police in German territory.
Germany, however, may give further assurance that she is ready to guarantee non-fortification of the Rhineland and she may suggest an agenda for the proposed international conference of 3 severely restricted nature.-Reuter.
