HITLER DEFENDS

HIS PROPOSALS

Further, the French refusal to tolerate German troops DIRECT NEGOTIATION

in the Rhineland except under specified guarantees, has blocked the British hopes of entering into air and arms pacts.

Meanwhile, the British Foreign Minister, Mr. Anthony Eden, has persuaded the League Council to convene in London on Saturday instead of in Geneva, on which account the representatives of the Locarno Treaty Signatories are meeting in London on Thursday.

At to-day's conferences it was also agreed to post- pone the session of the Committee of Thirteen which was scheduled for Wednesday.

Momentous decisions were reached, and Mr. Eden achieved his greatest victory in winning concessions.

Firstly, he achieved the French Foreign Minister's promise to refrain from military action against Germany, and secondly, conditional assurance that France is willing to waive their de- mand for the withdrawal of the German troops.

This second assurance พกพ pret

Paris, March 11,

The invitation to Locarno Treaty signa- tories to proceed to London for further conferences is due largely to the impression made upon Mr. Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary, and Lord Halifax, Lord Privy Seal, by the French Foreign Minister, M. Pierre Flandin, and the Belgian Prime Minis- ter, M. Van Zeeland.

These two men, who have declared that their, ex-Governments will never negotiate with Germany until her troops have been recalled from the demilitarised zone of the Rhineland, placed the problem on a League. plane and emphasised the menace, contained in the German action, to the peace Englishmen desired.

The German Chancellor, Herr Adolf Hitler, further plained his attitude towards the Treaty of Locarno and his action in reoccupying the Rhineland with military forces in an important interview with Mr. G." Ward Price at Munich. The interview was given much prominence in the Daily Mail to-day.

Herr Hiller stated that his: pro- post for non-aggression pacts with
