PLEA FOR PEACE
SUSPICIONS OF GERMANY. APPEAL TO GOOD FAITH. WILL THE NATIONS AGREE. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received Nov. 17, 11 a.m PARIS, Nov.’ 16. M. Millerand, in a speech explaining his political programme, expressed the opinion that the work begun at Geneva sliould be continued, though the only guarantee of the disarmament protocol lay in its appeal to the good faith of each nation. He thought it desirable that Germany should be admitted to the League, but feared that she might take advantage of admission to demand a revision of the treaties, to which France would never agree. He regarded the Anglo-Franco-Belgian entente as an additional guarantee of peace, but insufficient to enable France to reduce her peace time armaments until she obtained more effective safeguards. The ex-president condemned the Government’s action in recognising the Soviet, which was unnecessary British, Belgian, and Italian efforts to establish business with Russia hado all failed. He also condemned the proposed suppression of the embassy to the Vatican.—Reuter
