There is naturally disappointment that in regard to the proposals put before the German Government by the other Locarno Powers the present docu- ment does not offer clear reply.
It will be remembered that the main purpose of those proposals was to restore confidence, which had been destroyed by Germany's action in the Rhineland, and contributions to this end were offered by the Locarno Powers.
