FRENCH QUESTIONS TO GERMANY

11

London Apr 24, The French Government wants the following questions asked:

1. Does Germany accept the con. duty.dition that she will join the Lea-

gue of Nations?

The insurances reached about ten times the amount of cover usually saught on these occasions, and the premiums paid were three to five times higher than normal for bud- get risks.

।

Patiently and delicately-for the mummy is extremely fragile-Prof. Hassan removed the layers: It took nim 54 hours.

He was incapacitated for a con- siderable time" by noxious gases from the tomb.

The temb, the discovery of which 1 reported 11 The "Dally Tele- graph" a week ago. is believed to be that of a daughter of Chephren, the Pharaoh who built the second highest of the Pyramids., It was blocked by four huge-limestone slabs and sealed with a cement-like substance,

ORNAMENTS OF GOLD The professor found the face and jaw of the princesa especially well Round her neck were three threads of gold, two of them intertwined,

2. Does Germany accept the Bta-preserved, tute of Danzig, the status quo of Memel, and the independence of Austria?

3. Does the German declaration a Western European alr favour pact, and does it include her will- ingness to negotiate an agreement on air armament limitation?

4. Does Germany, while willing to conclude non-aggression pacts with countries on her western bdr- ders, also admit the right of those their neighbours to powers and conclude mutual assistance pacts?

5. Does 'Germany reject, unilater- al cancellation of engagements for the future?

Although the occurrence may be a matter of coincidence special circumstances have given rise to the suspicion of a leakage of bud- get secrets, and grave concern has been aroused in Parliamentary cir- eles as well as in the City. The Committee of Lloyd's has the whole matter under investigation, and the Treasury is understood to be in close touch with them.

The subject has already been raised in the Commons and a
