SOLID BACKING FOR LEAGUE

COMMON POLICY OF

WESTERN POWERS

SEEKING SAFEGUARDS TO SECURITY

(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messag48 Ordinancṛ, 1994. Received, April 15, 1 p.)

Geneva, April 14.

The centre of gravity in international politics has now shifted from Stresa to Geneva. The League Coun citement at 11 o'clock to-morrow to deal with the French appear against Germany's re-armament.

Whilst the Stresa conference was careful not to con- front the Council with any draft resolution dealing with Germany's action of March 16, by which she announced

a new conscription law in contravention of the Treaty Ouchao Still

of Versailles, it is understood that the three powers have agreed that the general lines of such a resolution should follow: namely, that the Council should affirm- the impossibility of admitting the violation of treaties as an instrument of international policy, and should ex- press regret at the decision of the German Government of March 16.

It is also believed that the three powers agree that they should ask the League to establish a Committee of experts to examine the whole subject and to submit proposals with regard to the best measures to be taken against future violation. They will probably recom- mend the organisation of security through the adoption of pacts based upon mutual assistance agreements. Reuter Special..

WORLD SATISFACTION

London, April 14.

General satisfaction with the results of the Stresa Conference is | expressed from the principal world capitals.

In Paris It is said that dark cloud has been removed. There was a general feeling there that! the British altitude was the emi bodiment of weakness. The British support of French contentions at Stresa has altered that belief.

Vienna views the agreement in connection with the preserving of the integrity of Austria, and the prospect of the Rome conference, ns the chief success of the Stresn talks. The Rome parley, especial.") ly, is regarded as an important step towards reaching an agree ment with and among the Dam-) binn countries.

There have been horrible scenes at Forozabad and elsewhere during the rioting to-day. Many have been. killed.

Eleven persons were burned to death, amongst them three children, when a furious mob set fire to the home of a doctor.

This act of terrorism was an outgrowth of the fierce fighting which had broken out between Moslem and Hindu crowds. Police were finally forced to open fire on the rioters after two of their number had been injured and several civilians slain.-Reuter,
