RUSSO-GERMAN TREATY
STATEMENT BY SIR AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN. (Ree. 5.5 pjn.) London, Apr. 30. Sir Austen Chamberlain, in a speech at Albert Hall, said though at present he had not studied the Russo-German Treaty, he hoped to find the German Ministers, who had assured Britain they would do nothing inconsistent with the achievements of Locarno, had kept their word. Britain, no less than Germany, had need of peace. Britain, whether in Germany’s case or in the case of others, never sought to stir up trouble betu’een nations. Britain never jealously viewed or attempted to prevent any possible improvements in other nations’ relations. The fact that Germany had signed a treaty with the Soviet seemed perfectly natural, but Britain had a right to insist that they should be loyal to their professed engagements with their partners at Locarno and did not incur obligations inconsistent with the fulfilment of the Locarno Covenant.—Reuter.
