"YOUR MOVE NEXT”
POWERS AND DR. MUELLER RHINELAND EVACUATION ; (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) ! (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 10 a.m. GENEVA, Monday. With the round of calls between the “Big Five” completed the next step in the Rhineland discussions rests with the German Chancellor. Dr. Mueller, who has been asked, “What is your ; plan?” | Remembering the high hopes of the Thoiry conversations in 1926, and the abandonment of the then proposal to commercialise the Dawes payment into German railway bonds as security, it is surprising that the same idea is behind Francels mind to-day, because the same difficulties arise as in 1926. For instance, some doubt whether there is sufficient liquid capital to absorb the bonds, and there is also a fear that their issue at five per cent, might deflate the existing bonds. There is a feeling among highplaced officials that if M. Briand had a free hand it might be easier to adjust the Rhineland problem; but he is a subject of M. Poincare’s security complex, backed by a similar strong French mentality. Likewise there is a feeling that with only a few months to go to evacuate the second Rhine zone would be a liberal French gesture that might be risked for the peace ideal.
