WHAT CAUSED TROUBLE
GEE MAN NATIONALIST
AGITATION.
(PuMiihed in Tho Times.)
LONDON, £?ad December. The Paiug correspondent of "The Tiniea" says:—
When ir was generally known that Herr yon Hocscli had been ordered to remonstrate against the Germcrsheim verdict, tiiia knowledge was expected to cause almost as much indignation throughout France as the verdict appears to have caused in Germany. A majority of the newspapers support the Judge's thesis that the .incidents at Gerniersheiin were the result of German Nationalist provoeatien, and that Bonder had a right to benefit by extenuating circumstances.
The French Commissioner's remark, that incidents culminating in. the affray dated fror i the introduction of a more lenient policy in the Rhineland after the Locarno Pact, has attracted wide attention. Both French and Germans agreed that the incidents were the result of provocations, but, whereas the Germans consider that the French occupation was the root cause, the French maintain that the nervous state of the town, which made the incident* possible, was deliberately ' artificially created by German agitators, in an attempt to hasten the withdrawal of the garrison. .
