GERMANS ACCEPT BORDER
AGREEMENT WITH POLAND BRITAIN WELCOMES PACT EASTERN LOCARNO THE AIM IMPROVED RELATIONSHIP British Wireless. Rugby, Jan. 27. The announcement that a pact of understanding had been reached between the German and Polish Governments was warmly received by the British Press. “The validity of the pact is limited to 10 years, but,” says the Times, “for that period at least there is voluntary acceptance by Germany of its eastern frontiers. An eastern Locarno, which has been so long the desideratum of European diplomacy, has been provisionally established. The two Governments decided to base their relations on the Kellogg Pact and to define more precisely the application of its principles to their own relationship.” The Times notes that since Herr Hitler came into power the German and Polish relations have steadily improved. It adds: “The treaty must mean a cessation of ‘revision’ propaganda.”

Moscow, Jan. 28. In a five hours’ speech at the opening of the Communist Party congress, M. J. V. Stalin-, general secretary of the party, said that all countries were obviously moving towards war.
