Paris Agreements

ALLEGED VIOLATION OF GERM

AND GAS WARFARE PROTOCOL

Moscow, Jan. 13. '

The Soviet Government charged tonight that the Paris Agreements on German rearmament violate the 1925 Geneva Pact which prohibits germ warfare and the use of poison gas.

The Soviet Government warned against ratification of the Paris accords in identical notes delivered to the Ambassadors of the Brussels Pact states-Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

Russia noted that the French Government was designated as the depositor, or keeper, of the Geneva protocol on germ and gas warfare which was signed on June 17,

1926.

There had also appeared the threat of using pernicious bacteriological weapons with the purpose of contaminating peace- ful populations with the gravest
