STATEMENT DENIED
FRANCE AND HER TREATY OBLIGATIONS NO QUESTION OF AUTOMATIC ACTION. M. BONNET’S REPORTED STATEMENT. (Recd This Day, 9.40 a.m.) PARIS, May 22. It is authoritatively denied that a Foreign Office spokesman said last night that if Germany crossed the frontier of Czechoslovakia a war would be automatically started as France would respect her obligations to Czechoslovakia. M. Bonnet reiterated to the English and Soviet ambassadors that France will fulfil her obligations to Czechoslovakia, but emphasised that French obligations depend on the Locarno Treaty, in which there is no question of automatic action.
