NON-AGGRESSION PACT

GERMANY AND POLAND Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. BERLIN, January 26. A communique announces that Germany and Poland have signed a tenyears’ non-aggression pact with a view to consolidating European peace in the spirit of the Kellogg Pact. WELCOMED BY BRITISH PRESS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, January 27. (Received January 29, at noon.) The announcement that a pact of understanding has been reached between the German and Polish Governments is warmly welcomed by the British Press. Its validity is limited to ten years, but, says ‘The Times,’ for that period at least there is voluntary acceptance by Germany of her eastern frontiers. An eastern Locarno, which has been so long the desideratum of European diplomacy, has been provisionally established. The two Governments have decided to base their relations on the Kellogg Pact, and to define more precisely the application of its principles to their own relationship. ‘ The Times ’ notes that since Herr Hitler came into power German-Polish relations have steadily improved. It adds that the treaty must mean cessation of the “revision” propaganda.
