BRITISH WITHDRAWAL FROM RHINELAND
TIME NOT OPPORTUNE British Wireless—Press Assn.—Copyright RUGBY, Thursday. In the House of Commons a question was asked whether, in view of the fact that the Franco-German frontier has been guaranteed by the Locarno Treaty, the British Government would consider the evacuation of British troops from the Rhineland at an early date. The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Mr. G. T. LockerLampson, replied: “There has been on question of an isolated withdrawal of British troops, which would not in ihy opinion be to anyone’s advantage in the present circumstances. "The general evacuation of the Rhineland before the period laid down in the Treaty of Versailles can only be as a result of an arrangement between the Powers whose troops are affected on one hand and the German Government on the other. If such an arrangement be possible it will be very welcome to the British Government “In this connection I would refer to the speeches regarding the conditions on which the anticipated evacuation might take place, which were made by the French and German Foreign Ministers before the French Senate and the Reichstag respectively.”—A. and N.Z.
