MUNICH PACT NO LONGER VALID
France To Strengthen
Her Alliances
NO CLAIMS YET BY ITALY
(Received March 16, 9.30 p.m.)
PARIS, March 16.
The Foreign Minister, M. Bonnet, today received the German Ambassador who, reporting on the entry of troops into Czechoslovakia, said that no question of violation of frontiers or aggression had resulted from the agreement between Plerr Hitler and President Hacha.
The Opposition attacked M. Bonnet during an address today to a secret session of the Foreign
Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Deputies. An Alsace deputy said that Germany would soon be claiming Alsace-Lorraine. M. Bonnet said that he did not regard the Munich agreement as still valid. He stressed the necessity for France to strengthen her alliances and maintain solidarity with Britain and close relations with Poland and Russia. He added that no claims had yet been made by Italy. No negotiations were in progress and none were contemplated. MEMEL NEXT? Request For Anschluss Expected KAUNAS, March 15. It is authoritatively stated that Memel will shortly ask Germany for an anschluss. Herr Naumann, leader of the Memel Germans, told the party yesterday that he felt himself entitled, in the light of the new European situation eventually to take the necessary steps to freedom without consulting the Diet.
