MENACE TO PEACE
GERMANY SINGLED OUT. STARTLING STATEMENT. ‘ ‘ ALLIANCE WITH RUSSIA.” (Received 9 a.m.) LONDON, June 11. Dr. Edward Littelton, Rector of Sidcst.rand, Norfolk, delivered a sensational speech at the Norwich Diocesan 'Conference’. He suggested that the danger to European peace was not France, but Germany. The preacher read a letter from a German professor stating that his countrymen were maddened by the prevailing distress and smarting under a sense of injustice, because they considered the Allies had not fulfilled their promises under the Versailles Treaty to disarm. The result was that the Gorman Government was considering action. Unless it received an assurance that the conference on disarmament, to be held in February, would do something adequate, Germany would leave the League of Nations and rearm the country as quickly as possible. Already Germany was negotiating an alliance with Russia. Dr. Littelton concluded: ‘'These two powers could defy the world, German}' thus repudiating her debts and putting herself on a parity with the other nations as regards armaments.”
