ARMAMENTS RACE
STRESEMANN’S REBUKE WORSE THAN OLD GERMANY SHORTCOMING OF THE LEAGUE (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian Press Association) Reed. 9.5 a.m. BERLIN, Sunday. Dr. Stresemann, in a speech sit the University of Heidelberg, presumably referring to the Rhineland, said it would be degrading the League of Nations to a mere technically administrative apparatus, if it were regarded as tolerable that one League Power should maintain troops in the territory of another. The world would also have to realise that tne League would be estimated according to its successes in disarmament. The German people had long seen that the Imperial Government was branded with the charge of competition in armaments. They now saw that other Powers were creating a supremacy in armaments such as Imperial Germany in her wildest dreams never conceived. It was unprecedented in history that a people with such martial laurels as Germany should renounce warlike retribution, seeking only through peaceful understanding the rectification of unhappy errors.
