DEMANDS FROM GERMANY FRENCH PAPER’S WARNING CONCILIATORY SPEECHES By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 9.10 p.m, Paris, August 26. French election speeches in their references to foreign policy are notably quieter in tone, but this is not reflected in the Paris Press. - The Petit Journal, one of the most warns the French people that the German demand for the reshaping ofthe map of Europe to Germany's advantage cannot be achieved except by force, “Those desiring a revision of the treaty desire, war, but Germany at present is not ready to force the demand for revision;’it may be 10 or 12 years before the /clash becomes imminent,” says the paper/..... ... ■ It is significant- that Dr. Curtins, the German Foreign Minister, in his initial speech championed Dr. Stresemann’s policy of international understanding with courage. Even Herr* Treviranus, who recently declared a revision of the eastern frontier was urgent, has now climbed down, admitting that the subject could not at present be raised. Several Paris newspapers welcome the fact that some leading German publicists have come into the open with demands for treaty revision, "as they are calculated to convince the waverers of the real underlying motives; of the German policy.” -
