NAVAL AGREEMENT
A PRACTICAL. STEP
ARMAMENTS LIMITATION
/LONDON, June 29. Mr. Stanley Baldwin, speaking at Leeds, emphasised that the Anglo-Ger-man naval .agreement did not imply a deviation from the whole-hearted cooperation with France and Italy which was reaffirmed at Stresa. The naval agreement appeared to be a practical and straightforward step toward international limitation of armaments. "I profoundly regret," he said, "that one or two members of the House of Commons are suggesting that the Germans cannot be trusted to keep their word. Unless you trust people when attempting to initiate disarmament you revert to the law of the jungle, making progress impossible. I believe the Germans and ourselves entered into the agreement with equally honourable motives."
