GERMAN DISARMAMENT.

GENERAL WALSCH'S NOTE. NO ACTION ANTICIPATED. QUESTION OF SE-CRET FORCES. By Telegraph—Press Association—Conyright. (Received 7.5 p.m.)' A. and N.Z. LONDON, July 17. A message from Berlin says the German Cabinet considered the Note received from General Walsch, French president of the Inter-Allied Commission of Control, containing demands in respect of disarmament. No decision was reached. The diplomatic correspondent ot the Daily Telegraph says he thinks Herr Stresemann, Minister of Foreign Affairs, may endeavour to ignore the whole affair publicly, pending Germany's entry into the League of Nations, when the Control Commission will disappear. This does not imply that exchanges between the Allied Governments may not follow with a view to avoiding a recurrence of General Walsch's false step. The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Herald says there is no doubt that under a dozen successive Governments tho German military authorities have consistently and deliberately sabotaged the disarmament regulations; that the Reichswehr is permeated with arrogant Monarchist militarism; that there are close relations between the Reichswehr and Nationalist and Fascist organisations; that there still exist illegal formations trained and supported by the official Reichswehr.
