PEACE OF EUROPE
♦ ESTABLISHED AT CANNES. STATEMENT BY M. BRIAND. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. PARIS, Jan. 3. M. Briand, in an important passage in an interview published by Le Journal, declared.: “It was not on the Locarno basis that the peace of Europe was first established; it was at Cannes. With the notes I exchanged with Mr Lloyd George in 1922, Germany, Belgium and Italy were' to have .io".ied an Anglo-French "agreement. No country was to have been admitted subsequentto the Genoa conference without signing a forma 1 declaration of non-aggres-sion. You know what happened. I do not wish to grumble. When I was returned to power, I resumed work where I left off in 1922.” M. Briand concluded: “Tf a system of treaties, such as that of Locarno, bad existed in 1914, would Germany have declared war? Never!”
