Germany and Conscription
Appeasing French Suspicions
ACTIVITY BY BRITAIN United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received AVcdnesday, 9.35 p.m. LONDON, March 20. The Morning Post's diplomatic correspondent understands that M. Corbin, in an interview with Sir John Simon, said that France regards Hitler's action as destroying the basis of the Anglo-French proposals on February 3. Consequently, France could no longer consider Sir John Simon as acting on behalf of the two countries, btpt must adopt its own measures. These would take the form of a strong protest to Berlin, followed by an immediate consultation of all nations who Considered themselves threatened by German rearmament.
It is understood that Sir John Simon later consulted Mr Ramsay MacDonald and members of Cabinet regarding steps to appease French suspicions. As a result, it has been suggested that Sir John Simon should go to Paris en route for Berlin, in order to explain matters. Alternatively, it is proposed that Mr R. A. Eden should go to Paris or to a conference somewhere in France, at which Britain, France and Italy would consider the situation.
