FRANCE DEFENDS LOCARNO

PLEDGED TO MAINTAIN Serious View of German Breach GUARANTEE OF FRENCH AND BELGIAN SECURITY

WAR MINISTER AUTHORISED TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS

EFFECTIVELY MANNED

PARIS, MARCH 8.

M. ALBERT- SARRAUT, THE FRENCH PRIME MINISTER, IN A BROAD- CAST ADDRESS THIS EVENING, ANNOUNCED THAT FRANCE WOULD REFUSE TO NEGOTIATE WITH GERMANY;

FIRSTLY, BECAUSE THE TWO EXAMPLES GIVEN BY GERMANY WITHIN ONE YEAR OF UNILATERAL REPUDIATION OF SOLEMN. ENGAGEMENTS, DID NOT INSPIRE FRANCE'S CONFIDENCE IN GER. MANY'S OFFERS;

SECONDLY, BECAUSE IN DEFINITE VIOLATION OF THE LAW GERMANY HAD SENT LARGE FORCES INTO THE DEMILITARISED RHINE- LAND ZONE, AND WITHOUT PREVIOUSLY MAKING KNOWN HER INTEN- TIONS FREED HERSELF FROM HER OBLIGATIONS WITHOUT EVEN ATTEMPTING TO NEGOTIATE.

"There can be no peace in Europe and there can no longer be international relations if this method is to become general," declared the French Prime Minister. "Andin opposing it we are serving the cause of European peace.

"The single fact, taken alone, that troops have been installed along the Rhine forbids negotiations.

"We are not prepared to allow Strasbourg to fall under the menace of German

canrions.

"Herr Hitler has made an excuse "out" of the Franco-Soviet Pact, but his real aim was to choose a time when the French people might be divided in a general election.

"I declare, in the name of the French Government, we intend to see maintained the essential guarantees of French and Belgian security provided by the Treaty of Locarno." Reuter

CONVERSATION WITH

FRENCH AMBASSADOR

London, March 8.

Reuter understands that Mr. Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary, on receiving the Germani Ambassador yesterday, told him the British Govern- ment took a serious view of the unilateral action by the German Government in respect to the Rhineland re- occupation and the denunciation of clauses of the Versailles and Locarno Treaties.

The British Ambassador at Berlin, Sir Eric Phipps, adopted a similar attitude when he received the German memorandum from the Foreign Minister, Baron von Neurath,

Mr. Eden was at the Foreign Office throughout the day and conferred with the Prime Minister, Mr. Stanley Baldwin, late in the afternoon.

In the House of Commons to-morrow Mr. Eden will make a statement defining the British attitude towards Germany's action, and he will attend a meeting of Paris, probably on Tues day, of the powers signatory to the Locarno Pact. Only Ger- many will not be represented.
