EUROPEAN POSITION
CRITICAL AS EVER. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] (Received 10.5 a.m.) LONDON, April 12. Tlie “Observer” says the f a ee of European diplomacy changed last week, and is more critical than ever since the Armistice. The question of Germany’s position in Europe must be faced and settled. M. Doumei'gue unreservedly announces that Franco relies on her own arms, to counter the alleged German danger. Thus a general increase in French armaments is a possibility. The French principle, fairly stated, is that disarmament is only obtainable from a sense of security, which will he produced bv a clear margin of French security in arms. British policy, and feeling, on the contrary; holds that disarmament is a means to security, not a result thereof. We desire to show equal friendship towards Germany and France. The thessis of Germany permanently subjected to French supremacy is more likely to lead to disaster than to security.
