EUROPEAN PEACE
DANGER FROM GERMANY A SENSATIONAL SPEECH (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, June 11. (Received June 11, at 8 p.m.) Dr Edward Lyttelton, rector of Sidestrand, at the Norwich Diocesan Conference, delivered a sensational speech, suggesting that the danger to European peace was not France but' Germany. He read a letter from a German professor stating that the country was maddened by the prevailing distress and was smarting under a sense of injustice because the Allies had not fulfilled their Versailles promises to disarm. The result is that the German Governmefatt is considering taking action, and unless she gets an assurance that the conference on disarmament in February will do something adequate Germany will leave the League of Nations and rearm the country as quickly as possible. The professor added {hat Germany was already negotiating an alliance with Russia.
Dr Lyttelton concluded: “These two Powers could defy the world, Germany thus repudiating her debts and putting herself on a parity with other nations as regards armaments after several months of arduous toil.”
