“TREMENDOUS SIGNIFICANCE”
WHAT THE LOCARNO PACT MEANS. GERMANY DETACHED FROM RUSSIA. LONDON, Oct. 26. Mr Ormsby Gore speaking at Manchester said that tha problem to be solved at Locarno was: Shall Germany regard her future as bound up with the Western Powers or work with Russia for the destruction of Western civilisation. The significance of the Locarno Pact is tremendous. It means that Germany is detached from Russia, and is throwing in her lot with tha Western peoples. The Pact has also reinforced and strengthened tha League of Nations to an unexpected degree daily. GERMAN NATIONALISTS AND THE PACT. REASON FOR OPPOSITION. BERLIN, October 26. It is noteworthy that only sixty of 111 members of the National Party attended the meeting this evening. It is believed that the party voted the Locarno agreement chiefly because it was dissatisfied with the Allies’ vague promises regarding amelioration of the regime in the Rhineland and the evacuation of the Cologne zone, concerning which it is complained that not a single written guarantee has been given.
