RUSSIA AND LOCARNO.
APrEAL TO AMERICANS. OBJECTIONS TO THE TREATY. ULTERIOR MOTIVE FEARED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. —Copyright. (Received G. 5 p.m.) A. and N.Z. NEW YORK. Dec. 15. What is believed to be the beginning of a direct appeal by the Soviet to the people of America against the Treaty of Locarno is contained in a cablegram sent by the Soviet Ambassador, M. Lokovsky, from Paris to the New York Times. The message says: "I consider that only the future will tell whether the Locarno agreement has contributed to general peace. Russian public opinion looks with great, mistrust upon every alliance. Our people consider that every new grouping of nations disturbs the balance of power and facilitates the eventuality of further conflict. " Locarno, according to our interpretation, is directed against Russia. " Peace which is organised either without or against Russia is an impossibility."
