FRENCH CRITICISM
PARIS, March I.'i
Ihe “Echo de Baris” comments
”.'lr Chamberlain has inflicted the heaviest blow on the League of Nations that it lias yet sustained. Apparently Britain is not willing to make any agreements till Germany, without reserve, joins the League. Is lie sure that Berlin will ever consent to this?”
The paper accuses Britain of repudiating the Protocol’s foundation and of .sapping the principles for which the .League of Nations stands. It says:— •Mr Chamlicrluin’s speech is a painful awakening and a cruel disappointment.
The “Journal de Debuts ” :—“The real meaning of .Mr Chamberhiin’s speech is that the Protocol gives the League members disproportionate powers. Britain has restored to the League a mission*' which it can usefully fill ; whereas the French thesis gives ii absolute and universal authority. This moment is most favourable for the expression of France’s true policy for Britain has not rejected the pacts as well as the Protocol.
AMERICA’S ATTITUDE. WASHINGTON, March If
President Cooligde considers that recent developments abroad indicate a change in the disarmament situation, tending to pave the way for the United States to call a conference. The President will take up the question of a naval limitation conference 'seriously with Mr Kellog, Secretary of State, as soon as it is definitely ascertained that the League of Nations lias abandoned the Protocol.
