GERMANY’S POLICY.

REMOVAL OF INSECURITY. BERLIN, April 29. The Chancellor, Dr. Luther, in a epeech at a meeting of industrialists, emphasised the necessity for continuing Germany’s foreign policy in order to carry out tho world's desire for the removal of insecurity and instability. He stated that he hoped the Allies would no longer hesitate to remove the injustice done by not .publishing the reasons for the non-eVac-uation of the Cologne zone. , Dr. Luther said that Germany’s'" attitude regarding the security proposals was unaltered, but the evacuation of the Rhino zone must not be made dependent on the conclusion of the security pact. If these two urgent problems were settled, then he believed the way would be open for the reconstruction of Europe politically, economically and morally.— A. and N.Z.. cable. SPIRIT OF RESTIVENESS. EARLY AGREEMENT DESIRED. Received Mav 1, 9.35 a.m. LONDON, April 30. The Timet, in f, leader, expresses the opinion that the Allies ought without delay to approach Germany regarding pact proposals. The. Times points out that Dr. Luther’s speech connotes a spirit of restiveness, particularly in regard to disarmament at Cologne. An indication of further delay may multiply the obstacles preventing an agreement. The Times emphasises the fact that it cannot be " regarded as altogether inexplicable that the German people have chosen Hindenburg as president, whose election was largely a matter of sentiment, and it adds: “Hindenburg’s election undoubtedly means disturbing possibilities, but it need not necessarily be taken as an alarming fact.”—Times.
