EUROPEAN RELATIONS
THE THOIRY DISCUSSIONS. FRENCH SUSPICIONS UNALLAYED. (Free! Asaociation—By Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, December 6. (Received Dec. 6, at 10 p.m.) The opening phases of the Geneva Conference were devoted to informal discussions between the leaders, especially M. Briand and Dr Stresemann. There were the first since the secret meeting at Thoiry. Mr George Renwick, representing the Daily Chronicle, says that the iron of old suspicion appears to have entered into the French soul again. Even M. Briand admits that the work done at Thoiry has been largely wrecked. It was based upon the belief that France would do anything for money, but France’s financial position has so improved since that M. Briand and Dr Stresemann must begin again from the Thoiry starting-point. A bargain can only be achieved now if Germany yields to the Polish and Czecho-Slovakian demands that fuller frontier guarantees will be forthcoming than the Germans agreed to at Locarno.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
