FRENCH PROSPERITY AND ARMAMENTS.
“If the 'French taxpayers,” says the “Daily Express” “and the French Government choose to spend on this vast military organisation the proceeds of tlie prosperity that gmxl luck, hard work, and a clever financial policy have brought them, that is entirely their own affair. But Great Britain must firmly refuse to be dragged at the heels of a Power whose European policy beghis and ends with the maintenance of an armed ascendancy. Is it any wonder that Germany is kept in a ferment of agitation and suspicion? Is it any wonder she regards Locarno not as a bilateral treaty of impartial application. but as an instrument - f menace loaded against herself? The policy that is lining pursued in Paris under M. Poincare is still less than the mockery of what Europe hoped for from Locarno, and still less than the flat negation of the dreams that inspired tlie League of Nations.”
