GERMANY'S NEW POLICY. WHAT SHE CLAIMS AS LEAGUE MEMBER.

the

GENEVA, September 22ud.. Germany's solemn admission to League of Nations was proof that the nations had withdrawn their accusations of war guilt, said Dr. Stresemann when speaking at a reception organised by local Germans last night. He also em- phasised loyalty of natives as evidence of Germany's fitness to govern Colonial territories and added that. Germany now had the same right to possess Colonies as anybody else. He declared that Ger- man policy claimed that German sover- eignty should be restored in German ter- ritory and the recognition of the right of self-determination for all peoples. He added that after Germany had entered the League the occupation of German ter- ritory was quite incompatible with the principle of equality among members of the League..

Dr. Stresemann, interviewed to day before going to Berlin, said that his impressions of the League were good The great majority of Germans approved of his policy at Geneva, even if he had no majority in the Reichstag.
