FACED WITH BIG ISSUES
“Locarno Treaty Will Implicate Britain in Next War”
SHOULD REPUDIATE PACT POLICY OF DOMINIONS (Unite*! Press Association —By Electric Telegraph Copyright). Received 2.45 p.m. to-day. SYDNEY, To-day. Welcomed back to Oootamundra, his native town, Mr F. W. Doidge, a former director of the Reaverbrook Press, who is later going to New Zealand, declared that Britain, under the Locarno Treaty, was pledged to participate in the next European war and that war was imminent.
For this reason the Dominion representatives now in. London would be faced with big issues next week in their talks with the British Ministers. The Dominions did not subscribe to the Locarno Trea-y and it was imperatively necessary that Britain should know where the Dominions stood. “Pray heaven the Dominions may yet prevail upon Britain to cease meddling in Continental quarrels and to repudiate the Treaty of Locarno,” said Mr Doidke. “Only in that way can the Empire lie kept out of the next war.”
