RUSSIA AND GERMANY

BRITISH VIEW REGARDING TREATY. By Tel.—-Press Assoc.-Copyright. Rec. April 20, II 10 a.m. London, April it;. It is ur der-tcod that Sir Austen Chamberlain informed Germany that the British view of the RussoGerman Treaty is not unfavourable. Moreover, Germany’s action in informing the Locarno Powers before the Treaty was signed, is greatly appreciated. Sir Austen Chamberlain says he is convinced that when the full text is published, it will bear out Germany’s assurances that it fits the framework of Locarno without preventing Germany from entering the League. Sir A. Chamberlain similarly communicated with the other Locarno Powers. Meanwhile the Warsaw and Prague Governments are not reassured and have written to Britain, France and Italy urging a discussion whether the Treaty affects Germany’s entry into the League. M. Benes, the Czecho Slovakian Minister of Foreign Affairs, has drawn up a list of questions for submission 10 the Locarno Powers, expressing the hope that Germany will be able to re;urn satisfactory answ.rs before her entry into th e League is possible - Times).
