IMPORTANT EVENT
GERMAN-POLISH PA6T ' GENEVA COMMENT Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON. January 29. (Received January 30, at 12.45 p.m.) The ‘ Daily Mail’s ’ Geneva correspondent says that the GermanPolish Pact is regarded in League circles as one of the most important events since the war. Much credit is given to Herr Hitler for removing one of the major obstacles to an understanding on the question of armaments and to general conciliation. The ‘ Manchester Guardian’s ’ Geneva correspondent says that official Polish explanations suggest that the pact is the culmination of M. Boncour’s policy and the French Government’s weakness, especially its acceptance of the Four-Power Pact, also the continual disregard of Polish wishes. Poland also regards the League of Nations sceptically, owing to its capitulation to Japan. The Poles contend that the League’s failure is due to the weakness of the Western Powers, causing the belief that they could not offer support in emergencies, which was again obvious in the case of Austria. Accordingly the Poles must protect themselves.
