FRANCO-GERMAN ROW CONT" IING OVER OCCUP'TION Briand's Words Received in Berlin With Much Disappontment FRANCE BARGAINING? German Press is Bitter Over the Deadlock in the Situation Paris, Feb. 6.--Once again the thorn in the flesh of Franco-German rapprochement has been officially twisted--this time tw'ce within the space of three days--by Stresemann on the Reichstag rostrum. And again the process has stimulated cries of pained surprise, coupled with vigor- us protests, For this thorn, the) ¢...cuation of the Rhineland, is still viewed in entirely different lights by the people subjected to the occupa- tion and the people doing the occupy- ing. Stresemann, certainly the German statesman most friendly toward France of any since the war, has demanded evacuation as essential to the further progress of amicable un- derstanding between Germany and France, and has gone so far as to brand as "hypocrisy" the French in- sistence on securing guarantees. Words of such frankness could not fail to revive the acrimonious debate now nearly ten years old. What will come of it? Can the German Min- ister's blunt expressions be expected to bear fruit? The only answer to this which can be evolved from the immediate reaction of Stresemann's demands in France is: Not for a good while yet. The French still counter with the traditional parry--give us security that is real, fulfill the Ver- sailles Treaty to the letter, and then we will be willing to withdraw, Be- hind this reply are two contingen- cies, The first is the matter of the moral disarmament of Germany. The second is the problem of reparations. And French opinion does not see that either of these two contingencies bas been met by Berlin. The Stresesmann declared that the Ger- man people pledged their peaceful designs toward France in signing the Locarno Treaty. ; "Whoever calls for more security casts a doubt on the promise and sig- nature," but, says the French press, so long as the Nationalists ike Baron von Fre Loringhoven denounce the ide] Treaty and attack the Franco-German rapprochement, do not expect France to feel secure nor to fc ae i i : Ti. . the moral problem of dis- arm...ent stands, By for the majority of French Parliamentarians French leaders are still convinced that this disarmament is by no means sufficiently impressive. France wants If yuo £62 n-B0 08. BS, in any way, get a full sized jar to-day. The results will AT YOUR , Dawes plan. tangible security -- something which Stresemann's words and record do not mean to her. Beyond that is the question of reparations and the Dawes plan, The Versailles Treaty envisages the Rhineland withdrawal before 1935 only if Germany ful- , "All the engagements incum- bent upon her from the present realty," and part of those obliga- tions are the reparations, France has not yet received the 'rst full year's annuities under the If she has received them by September, 1929, France will still want to know how long they will continue and what assurance vr ther continuance, The allied troops are in the Rhineland wot nese payments, If they ¢ been withdrawn how will nc¢ know that the reparations annuities will continue unbroken and iv + ¢ ull amount? These are the ques 'ons Stresemann does not an- swer in either of his two speeches, . i.e varis press replies," This re- ply is not from a few sections of French opinion but from the most important portion. Where repara- tions are concerned there is perhaps more insistence on this point than ever, due to Gilbert's recent sugges- 1 of the fixation of Germany's to- tal obligations, together with the vhdiawal of allied control of the Dawes plan, If this may be done in the next few years it will only be done when France is convinced that the Reich's reparations will be ade- quately guaranteed and France's security unmenaced. Poincare him- self, when he admitted privately to Gilbert that the reparations total must eventually be reduced, took pains to add that he would agree only if sufficient guarantees accompanied the change. Holds Her T In the interim it is hardly conceiy- able that France will lightly toss away onc of her trump cards for bargaining on fixation and the with~ drawal of alleged control. The » rench want to see reparations def- initely coming in on a full scale be- fore they take steps to shorten the Versailles Treaty's provision of the occupation of the Rhineland. These in brief, are the French re- actions to Stresemann's demand for evacuation. The German Minister's bluntness, if anything, bas crystalliz- ed instead of dissipated them. The inescapable conclusion is that the evacuation of the Rhineland can be eventually achieved only in the pro- cess of political evolution and by a gradual drawing together of two very remote and antagonistic national viewpoints. There is still much need for patience both in Berlin and in Paris--and perhaps not too many official speeches cast back and forth France. Berdin Di Berlin, Feb. 6.--Berlin is disap- pointed at the tone of Briand's speech to the French Sen- ate. A great majority of Germans, nevertheless, regard the French For- eign Minister's statement that he is tiations for the evacuation Rhineland as a oositive gain Al- as the full text of the speech is lacking here, no official statement bas been given out, a hugh official of the German foreign office stated Friday that he considered the most interesting statement in Bri- and's address the observation that "there is mothing to fear in the Rhineland" This was held to in- dicate that security had ceased to be Shpesost in French thoughts, and the question of financial com- pensation had come to the fore ound and was the quid pro quo or withdrawing troops from German soil. This official indicated that if by "ineland control Briand meant a maintenance of the system erected y the council of the League of Na- tions in December, 1926, (wheseby tatives of all powers, including Ger- many, could be called into session when the League was not in session, if a League member compalined that the disarmament provision of the Treaty of Versailles were being vio- lated) Germany would be willing to accelerate herpay ments to France, but that this could only be done by revising the Dawes plan, as Parker Gilbert had indicated, by the definite fixation of Germany's liabilities. When this is done, however, the problem is no longer a purely Fran- co-German affair, and other rs, including America, must be in- to consideration, But the question ties might be taken up as "the first slice" of the collective problem. at The Foreign Office spokesman ex- pressed purpise at the statement that tresemann "in Walking {3 the gar. den at Locarno always had his hand out to give rather than to receive," It was pointed out that, as the gar- den contained barbed wire and ma- chine guns, it was not a very pleasant garden for Germany. In this connee- tion attention was called to Ger- many's voluntary renunciation to all claims to Alsace and Lorraine, and to Briahd's remark to his country- men that * if France had been beaten in the war she would never in 60 between the capitals of Germany and | © Aristide | ; willing to enter this year into mego- ion of the|: a committee consisting of represen- | years have performer a similar ac- tion." A hint was given that negotiations for the evacuation of the Rhineland might be begun in hig at Geneva. As it is impossible, for technical rea- sons to hold the German Parliamen- tary elections at the same time as the French elections, it was indicated that it might not be a bad thing if the German elections could be post. poned until autumn, in order that Germany might have a responsible Government, and not a "caretaker" government in the late spring, as would be the case if the Reichstag were dissolved in April. ; "he Taegliche Ruudschau" which stands close to Foreign Minister Stresemann, says editorially about Briand's speech; "When the French say that they must remain in the Rhineland because by withdrawal France would be threatened, and Germany, with its 100,000 soldiers, could immediately invade France, they mean only that France wants to make a bargain over the recalling of the troops and that Germany hasn't offered enough, Whether we should regard the eternal French cry about German danger on the Rhine, which Briand has said is not to be feared, as hypocrisy or as a pleasant 'facon de Parier' is merely a ques. tion of taste and is not of great im. portance." i "The main thing is that France doesn't consider its security endan- gered by the recall of occupation, and only asks a Jrice which it be- lieves itw 3) be ab p Slam 1 mature withdrawal of Ps. While the comment of the Liberal press is objective and fair, the Na- tionalistic newspapers give full rein to their fury, "The burial of Locarno" is the title of an editorial in "Kreuz Zeit- ung," the organ of Count Westrap, leader of the Nationalists, while the Fascist "Deutsche Zeitung" also de- claring that Briand's speech sounds the knell Locarno, "Away with Stresemann."
