LOCARNO PACT
BRITAIN’S OBLIGATIONS NOT AFFECTED BY GERMAN REPUDIATION STATEMENT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 7. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Mr R. A. Butler, answering a question in the House of Commons as to whether the provisions of the Treaty of Locarno were still held to be binding on the signatory Powers, said that Germany had declared on March 7, 1936, that Germany regarded herself as no longer bound by the Locarno Treatry, which she considered as dissolved. This did not, however, affect the obligations, inter se, of other parties to the treaty, which were reaffirmed in an agreement drawn up in London on March 19, 1936. The position of Belgium was subsequently modified by a joint communication addressed to Belgium on April 24, 1937, in which Britain and France declared that they considered Belgium released from all obligations toward them resulting from the Treaty of Locarno, and the arrangements of March 19, 1936. The obligations of Britain and France toward Belgium and of Britain toward France under the treaty remained unaffected.
