There is no prospect of Germany agreeing to such Conditions:
The truth is that Great-Britain and Belkiannt" are continuing the occupation of the Rhineland, which has become both senseless and dangerous in view of the Locarno Treaties and the Peace Pact, for no other reason than that France desires it. It is useless, however, to try to upset the determination of Great Britain to act in unison with France in all circumstances as the Treaty of Versailles provided. Something, nevertheless, might be done to prove that the heart of Great Britain is not in a policy which is a definite impediment to the spread of confidence and peaceful conditions. We should have thought it possible, without going so far as to act independently of France, to reduce the British occupying force appreciably. Sir Austen Chamberlain, however, is not likely to be persuaded by such ill-man- nered abuse as was directed at him in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
