GENEVA SENSATION
GERMAN CLAIMS MAINTENANCE OF OVERSEAS TROOPS. FRENCH MINISTER’S UNPOPULAR STATEMENT. (Received 8, 11.30 a.m.) London, March 7. Geneva reports state that a sensation developed at the general commission of the Disarmament Conference during a discussion on overseas troops, when Herr Nadolny (Germany) remarked that he hoped that Germany would be considered as interested. M. Sarraut, the French Colonial Minister, said he was convinced that, certain countries which to-day did not possess colonies would in the near future be able to join in the work of colonizing nations and the exploitation of continents like Africa, which were large enough to afford work for all European nations. This statement greatly surprised M. Sarraut's colleagues and an “official” explanation quickly followed, declaring that M. Sarraut referred to German collaboration in public works; for example. the construction of aerodromes at Algiers and Tunis; but the explanation did not prove convincing.
