INTENTION TO REARM

NATIONS UNEASY

("Times" Cable.) LOJN TDO2vT, August 4. It is understood that tho British and French Governments are examining the question of the preparation for rearmament allegedly made in Germany in contravention of the disarmament clauses of the Treaty of Versailles. "The Times" emphasises the disquieting similarities between today and August, 1914, and says that the public is still uneasily doubtful whether victory over Germany was achieved. Germany is again the prime cause of European unsettlcuicnt. "Germany apparently is deliberately attempting remilitarisation, and is preparing forcefully to unite herself with nationals-over her borders," continues "The Times." '-'She possesses the same fundamental disregard for treaties and complete inability to grasp the value of the homely British principle, ' Live and let live.' "German policy is little changed since before the war, when it alternated between paroxysms »f bullying and fervid protestations of friendship. Tho question is still whether ideals of personal and national liberty, cherished by Great Britain and other nations, or German ruthlessness and State domination shall, prevail. Some have.learned the lessons, but the issue is still a live one." Tho "News-Chronicle's" Paris (correspondent states that tho French Government has received fresh information which it claims proves Germany's intention to obtain war aeroplanes and also to- rearm."
