RHINELAND TOLERATION
EOUE PEOVISOS
(Received March 11, 2.10-p.m.) LONDON, March 10.
The first reaction in Paris was to insist on the application of sanctions against' Germany, but it is now stated ' authoritatively that France does not contemplate military sanctions, and will not even insist on the withdrawal of the German troops from the demilitarised zone, provided that Herr Hitler agrees not to establish fortifications and air bases there, and provided that Germany agrees to rejoin the League, agrees to an air pact, and negotiates a limitation of land armaments. ' There is, however, little doubt that Herr Hitler's refusal to negotiate on these conditions would oblige Britain wholeheartedly to support the full French demands before the. League Council, including the insistence on sanctions, in which Belgium would back France. CONFIDENCE IN BRITAIN. Meanwhile M; Vandervelde, a member of the Belgian Cabinet, expresses | Belgium's complete confidence in Britain, while Poland, ' Italy, Czecho-slovakia,-Rumania, Yugoslavia, and Turkey have advised France of their readiness to support her.
German ' circles interpret the fact that there was no result from the first day's negotiations in Paris as indicating that Britain has withstood the sanctions proposals advanced by France. -
