GERMANY NOT BLUFFING.
“Germany is clearly bent,)” com* menti the “Spectator,” “on forcing a deck ion on an issue there l is no possibility of avoiding. She refuses to submit to armament restrictions from which other: countries are free. Either therefore they must accept similar restrictions voluntarily, which is what the Italian Government has proposed at Geneva, or she will take the law into her own hands' and decline to bo bound by them herself. It is still probable thai\ general acceptance of the Hoover plan would be regarded i n Germany as a reasonable first step to equality by stages, but if there is to be nq' nearer approach toward the adoption of the plan than our /own Government is prepared for,, tlien a crisis involving a deliberate breach of Treaty of Versailles—with considerable moral justification—is inevitable.' No one with any realisation of wEat Germany’s present temper is canjsuppose her to be bluffing in this matter.”
