BOOK OF PEACE
HERRIOT’S CHAPTER WRITTEN. FRANCO-GERMAN TREATY. BI CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT (Received Oct. 4, 10.30 a.m.) PARIS, Oct. 3. Negotiations with reference to the Franco-Gennan commercial treaty are notable for Herriot’s opening speech, in which he. said he was going to try to write another chapter in the book of peace. The commercial treaty, concluded under present conditions, is far more than a contract relating purely to commercial interests, and it is a work of rapprochement and civilisation. He pointed out that before the war the exchange of goods between France and Germany .practically balanced each other. This proved that each country rendered important service to the other, and it must be their aim to reestablish this exchange, and so make life easier for both sides.
