A EL from ovarnos Switzer- land, says:--Just as the armistice ended the Great War, so on Thursday, making history, treaties were adopted at. o designed to render impos-, - sible any reopening of that Great War. Germany and the Allied powers approved the text of a security pact] ou lawing war. ' © When word of the agreement spread from mouth to mouth, some wireless fiash, this peaceful spot, nestling at the lakesidé 'beneath tow- reason why, with the treaties ratified by December, Germany cannot enter | ering mountains, seemed to, pulsate with the thrill of countless multitudes dwelling throughout the world. The Rhine pact of security adopted on Thursday and initialed on" Friday, piedges its signatories, 'France, Ger-: many and' Belgium, not to attack or most experienced statesman of the lot, invade one another's territory and fo. - #bstain from war. Great Britain and Italy stand: as guarantors of this en- gagement and promise to throw their forces. away from the parties swhich violate its terms. France is allowed to keep certain ' rights embodied in the Treaty of Ver- saillés, and, notably, take immediate action should Germany commit a hos: tile act by constructing fortifications either on the left bank of the Rhine or, within 50 kilometres (about thirty miles) of its east bank, or keep armed forces within that area. The pact ceases to hold when com- bined penalties against any aggressor nation are ordered by the League of Nations, or when by virtue of Article XV. of the League covenant, and by reason of failure of the: council to reach unanimity on any dispute, the League members may take such action as they deem necessary for the main: tenance of right and justice. The Permanent Court of Interna- tional Justice, Boards of Conciliation, and the League Council are all possi- bilities for arbitration of all disputes under the pact, and arbitration is obligatory. Besides the Rhine pact, an agree- ment Was reached on, collaters] arbi- 'tration treaties between Germany nd France and Germany and Belgium; these interlock with the pact itself, There will be, In addition, arbitration treaties between Germany and her eastern neighbors, Poland and Czecho- Slovakia. like : tions can be e: from members beyond 'the oy om By this statement, which will take the form of a letter, Germany is relieved of the fear that the operation of Russia. {The various treaties will probably be signed at London within. a fort- night and League of Nations officials ! here for the closing conference, see no the League by the end of the year.

The Briand, said it meant laying the foun- dations of the United States of Eur- ope. In a common communique the statésmen sald the Locagno Confers ence "must result in restoring the { peace and security of Europe."

NEW ERA OF PEACE. DAWNS IN EUROPE All Nations: Now Are on. An Equal Basis, is Official View. London, Oct. 18.--"European peace again" is the headline under which J. L. Garvin in to-day's issue of the Ob- server hymns the Locarno agreement. However, there is as yet no certain knowledge in London as to what has been initiated at Locarno. Despite this ignorance, the general "feeling in dipiomatic circles is that the. steps taken are of paramount im- portance despite" the fact, which is admitted privately, that certain claus- es in the westérn security pact relat ing to Article XVI of the covenant and. the. French obligation to eastern allies can be, and are for the present intended to be, interpreted in two ways, one by the Germans and the other by the remaining signatories. All the Foreign Ministers of the powers concerned' are expected here December 1 to sign the concordat of Locarnp. But so far as can be learned here, this will be merely an impassive formality. There meg be no changes in ths docungents gents initialed yesterday at Locarno 'unless Parliamentary op- position here 'or' elsewhere develorjs in the meantime. 3 emia Baldwin, 'on behalf of the ram of con- SERIOUS DAMAGE TO!
