FRANCE'S DEMAND
AND LEAGUE COVENANT
(Received 31st .March, 1.5 p.m.) LONDON, 30th March
The Chequers conversations were directed to obtaining the Italian viewpoint upon the conference's attempt lo bridge the gap between the somewhat vague phrasing of Article 16 of the League Covenant and France's definite demand for security. The spokesmen to-night emphasised that Britain was most anxious to improve peace-keeping machinery, but further commitments were absolutely impossible. While it was recognised thai the attempt lo find :i formula satisfying lo France was extraordinarily difficult there was always the possibility of obtaining a definition satisfactory lo all concerned. Discussions were proceeding with this hope and Article 16 was being closely examined.
