POLAND AND FRANCE
General’s Visit to Paris NO MILITARY TREATY LONDON, September 7. “The Times’ ” Paris correspondent says that General Rydz Smigly’s visit has concluded. Official circles regard the results as highly satisfactory. It is confirmed that there wae never any question of negotiating a new military protocol but merely of giving life to the existing treaty by the restoration of goodwill and confidence. This, doubtless, has been done.
There is also reason to believe that the conversations included a detailed study of the practical application of the military clauses of the treaty, should need arise.
Negotiations for French credits to supply arms for Poland’s rearmament programme were carried to an advanced stage. The French and Polish Governments are now on better terms than for some years.
General Rydz Smigly, who is Inspec-tor-General of the Polish Army, was believed to be visiting France owing to Polish fears of German rearmament and he was thought to be seeking new military guarantees from France.
