GERMAN ARMAMENTS.
IMPORTATIONS FROM RUSSIA. SOCIALIST CHARGES. (Received Thursday, 7.30 p.m.) BERLIN, February 24. In connection with a stormy secret session of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Reichstag, at which, the Socialists again raised the question of the importation of arms from Russia, it is understood that the Soviet used strong pressure to induce the German Government not to allow a public debate in view of the present tension between Britain and the Soviet. Consequently Dr. Marx conferred with all the party leaders and achieved his object.
Herr Gessler (Minister of Defence) admitted that the Anny' had received deliveries of certain munitions as well as aeroplanes, but said: “All these transactions with the Soviet are ended.”
The Socialist representative, Herr Hilferding, declared that Moscow was trying to incite Germany into war against Britain. Herr Schubert, representing Dr. Stresemann (Foreign Minister) belittled the Socialist charges and asserted that the German .policy was guided solely by the Locarno Pact and the Russo-German neutrality treaty.—(A. and N.Z.)
