GERMAN INTENTIONS QUERIED
FRANCE WANTS
REASSURANCE
WILL HITLER SEEK NEW TERRITORY?
RESPECT FOR TREATIES MUST BE ESTABLISHED
•
Paris, Mar. 29.
In an important election speech, the French Foreign Minister, M. Pierre Flandin, to-day reaffirmed that once respect for international law was reestablished France was ready for all negotiations calculated to con- solidate peace.
He emphasised that the basis of negotiations must be precise and serious. He had hoped that Herr Adolf Hitler's speeches would correct the vagueness of his original propositions, but the German Chancellor clarified his stand on only one important point, namely, that he opposed the value of treaties to what he called the vital and eternal rights of the German people.
What value is a treaty if Germany reserved the right to repudiate it? M. Flandin asked. In case of a new treaty being signed with Germany, where was the impartial and independent judge whom Germany would recognise? To what decisions would she submit?
Contradictory Views
It was impossible not to perceive the profound contradiction in the two conceptions of international life. First, there was Germany's conception of force; secondly, there was the rest of the world's conception of right.
The French people_were_us_much. convinced as Germany of the neces sity of organising petice on solid and durable foundations, snid M. Flamin. If Herr Hitler was prepared to enter into general peace discussions without reserve or reticence, "let him reply to all our questions not by vague speeches with the object of mislead ing or putting to sleep public opinion, but by a calegorical and precise de:. claration," M. Plamdin urged,
