HITLER'S POLICY NOT YET DECIDED

Berlin, April 17. A very grave view is taken in Berlin of the resolu- tion passed by the League of Nations Council at Geneva yesterday sharply rebuking Germany for violating the. Versailles Treaty and condemning her for the treat- ment she has given to international obligations.

The League Council's criticism is definitely regard- ed as likely to prolong the European tension, while mak- ing the possibility of Germany's return to Geneva more remote than ever.

►

One official commentator stated that France had cut the threads of European negotiations, just as she did when Germany was forced to leave the League of Nations,

Furthermore, surprise is GX- pressed at Sir John Simon's atti tude, in view of his frank and full discussions with Chancellor Illler of Germany, But resentment is Jean keen against Poland, who is regarded as having been forced into agreement.

News of the League decision was telephoned to Herr Hitler, who is at present in South Ger many, and discussion upon Ger- nuny's course is not expected un- til April 19 when Herr filler will return to Berlin for his birthday celebrations,

London, April 17 Broadcasting an address on the objects and results of the Stresa conference, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, British Prime Minister, to-night declared that he wish- ed the German people knew how deeply grieved were their sympathetic well-wishers at the latest handling of their grievances.

He wished, said Mr. MacDonald, that they could see it was not only their duty, but to their interest, not only upon their honour, but wisdom, that they join other nations to make an adequate contribution to the building up of mutual trust and confidence.

"In any event, I am sure that Stresa, if its spirit is preserved, and its decision pursued, will definitely help to dispel the cloud, and enable the sun to come through. says à Reuter Special message.
