FRANCE AND GERMANY
BETTER RELATIONS URGED.
GENERAL GOERING’S COMMENT.
(United Press Assn—Telegraph Copyright.) Berlin, November 4.
Hints as to the desirability of an improvement in Franco-German relations are cautiously examined in the German Press, which professes not to know the official reaction to what has been proposed at Geneva. General Goering, in a speech in the Saar, asked would the French finally abandon the senseless idea that Germany was lying in wait to fall upon France? The two peoples in the Great War had learned to respect each other and there was no need to test their strength with another passage at arms. Germany would rather compete with France in peaceful work in which a rearmed Germany could make a definite contribution because a defenceless country was always a great temptation to its neighbours. M. Herriot, speaking at Lyons, warned M. Laval that he Left supporters would not tolerate any understanding with Germany permitting her expansion eastwards at the expense of Russia.
