GERMANY DISARMED

DECLARATION BY DR. STRESEMANN

DEMAND FOR RECALL OF MILITARY MISSION

BY Teeegbai'h.—Press 'Association. COPYRIGHT. (Rec. November 24, 7.15 p.m.) Berlin, November 23. “Germany expects the foreign Governments to note the fact that she has fulfilled the disarmament conditions for the recall of the Allied Military Mission, and proved that she is ready to carry out her obligations under the Versailles Treaty,” said Dr. Stresemann in a Reichstag debate on foreign policy. He added that the technical points not vet settled did not necessitate the further imposition upon Germany of the psychological burden due to the presence of foreign officers, which was incompatible with Germany’s entry into the League of Nations and' adhesion to the Locarno Pact. Moreover, Germany maintains that with the demand for general disarmament it is incompatible with her equality within the League that other nations should be at liberty regarding disarmament while one is completely disarmed and controlled. Referring to the Thoiry conversations, Dr. Stresemann expressed the opinion that the Franco-German relations could be stated in terms of mathematical formula. If tlie will to solve tlie difficulties existed a solution would be found.
