OPINION IN BERLIN.
ALLIED MISCONCEPTIONS. BERLIN, June 6. (Received June I, at 5.5 p.m.) Authoritative political circles are cf opinion that the Allied Note displays a complete misconception of the extent of Germany’s disarmament. It is stated that the conception that Germany has formed an army in proportion to her population is entirely opposed to the facts. Nevertheless, the Government is prepared immediately and carefully to examine the Note and -to remedy any failures and carry out its obligations. It is emphasised, however, that Germany cannot go bevond a legal interpretation of tne Treaty of Versailles. The Government’s one aim is to secure a lasting peace. Reuter. TRIVIAL AND RIDICULOUS. OFEICIAL WAXES SARCASTIC. BERLIN, June 6. (Received June 7, at 5.5 p.m.) The Allies’ Note unpleasantly shocked Germany, according to an official spokesman, who said that the Government regarded the situation most pessimistically. Me added that tho demands were mostly ridiculous and trivial, and no doubt some would be rejected. The spokesman was sarcastic in his reference to the Allies’ demand for the abolition ot tho policemen’s steel helmets, which, he said, were not a menace to the peace of Europe.— A. and N.Z. Cable.
