GERMANY APPREHENSIVE.
AFRAID OF ENCROACHMENT
United Press Assn.—By Electric T elegra ph—Copy right.
LONDON, February 4. The Ten-Power Paris talks continue to monopolise attention. The Daily Telegraph’s Paris correspondent says it is admitted that the immediate objects are two decisive steps* towards the ultimate goal of a system of collective security embracing the whole of Europe, namely, Bulgaria’s adherence to the Balkan Entente and Austria’s adherence to the Little Entente.
It is not intended that signed committments are likely to emerge from the present discussions, but t is claimed that they have already procured oral assurances justifying the most confident hopes of ultimate documentary obligations. The Telegraph’s Be rlin correspondent says the cry is again raised that the talks are directed, exclusively against Germany and towards her encirclement . 9 ’
The Deutsche Algemeine Zeitung asks: “Why all this talk about the German menace as we have no intention of attacking anyone.”
There* were also widespread ri>mours that a plebiscite may be held in which Germany will be asked, firstly, whether she favours the maintenance of the demilitarised Rhineland zone ; and secondly, whether she will support a scheme for colonies.
