FOCH’S WARNING
DANGER OF RHINELAND EVACUATION A DRAMATIC INCIDENT Reed. 10 a.m. PARIS, Friday. There was a dramatic incident in the Chamber when a deputy, M. Reibal, read a document signed by the late Marshal Foch, strongly opposing the evacuation of the Rhineland before the treaty date. The document, which was dated October, 1926, said Germany was daily becoming stronger, and desired revenge. Withdrawal from the Rhineland would place France in an exceptionally grave situation. The Foreign Minister, M. Briand, replying admitted ignorance of the document, although as Minister of the Interior he was Marshal Foch’s chief, and worked with him four days weekly. He added that he did not know how his colleagues came into possession of the document, but it was a sorry state of affairs.
M. Reibal remarked: “I simply did mv duty.” The incident then closed.
