GERMANY’S NEW IDEAL.

RESTORATION OF MILITARY POWER. VEILED ATTACK ON FRANCE. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received October 31, 9.30 p.m.) BERLIN, October 30. “The aim of Germany’s foreign policy should be the restoration of Germany as a great military Power,” declares General von Seeckt, creator of Germany’s post-war Army, in his forthcoming book: “The Fueiire Reich.” General von Seeckt has little hope of reconciliation between France and Germany. He says that France has only one idea, namely to render Germany for ever impotent. She has, through the Peace Treaty, obtained much in this direction. Under France’s leadership, Germany is now burdened for two generations with a tribute, less intended to strengthen flourishing French industry than to repress economic renaissance of Germany, but false is the assumption that a nation like Germany, can be ehslaved for generations. The Treaty of Versailles created a series of problems for Europe whic i are difficult, if not impossible to solve by pacific means. CHANGE IN MANDATE SYSTEM. GERMANY’S PERSISTENT DEMAND. (United Pret/i Association—By ilectrt* Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received October 31, 9.30 p.m.) LONDON, October 31. In view of the persistent German suggestions for the re-allocation of mandates, assumedly in a desire to regain South-West Africa, a resolution has been adopted by the East African Chamber of Commerce, requesting the Labour Ministry to reaffirm Colonel Amery’s declaration that Britain has no intention of relinquishing any mandate.
