The French view was strengthened by assurances in London Belgium would fulfill its obligations under the League of Nations covenant. Baron Cartier de Marchienne, Bel- gian ambsssador to Great Britain,! was declared to have given such as- surance’ to British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, ‘ Lays Policy Groundwork The Belgian representative, it was reported, told Eden King Leopold's declaration was pointed toward estab- lishing a national policy for prospec- tive conferences to formulate s new European security framework.

France asked the Belgian attitude toward: the Franco-Belgian military assistance pact; the Locarno treaty; future discussions of representatives, of the original Locarno Discoasions have planned, tentatively, discussions for a new Lo- ‘carno pact. since the original treaty was considered abrogated with Ger- man re-occupation of the Rhineland powers; and) Attorne Crum Denies Meeting Was ‘Pol- itical Hoax’ or That He Sought Appointment (By the Associated Press) The meeting held at Mandan Wed- nesddy to discuss a proposal that Gov. Welford be asked to withdraw in favor of John Moses, Democratic can- didate, was not a “political hoax,” C. Liebert Crum, who presided at the conference, said today in answer to Welford charges. Cc id he did not “question his when Welford claimed the meeting was a “hoax,” but added the governor was not present at the ses- sion and therefore did not have first hand information. “If Acting Governor Welford chooses to consider as a political hoax the action of a group of citizens repudiat- ing him as a candidate and throwing their support to John Moses, there is nothing much I can do about what he thinks,” Crum said. Had Planned to Be Quiet Crum said it was Welford who “rushed into print” about the meet- ing, and that it had been planned to handle the matter “quietly” and added “that if enough Welford supporters told him he was low man in the gov- ernorship race he could figure out for himself the best thing for him to do, and that he would do gracefully what is best for the state and himself.” Crum denied he had ever sought any appointment at the hands of Welford’s administration but claimed that it was “hinted” to him by a “member” of the administration he could have an appointment “if I would ask for it.” Discussing the Mandan conference, Crum said Senator J. K. Brostuen of Alexander, Welford faction and Re- Publican committee chairman, was invited to the meeting and that the Ust sof those receiving invitations “reads like a Who's Who of Wel- ¢e"Them Plainly 1 could of them, talk plain, ask them cot m, ask them it font tl ay think a» theeting was n to see if they couldn't do something to eliminate the candidacy of the acting governor as the low man and then, after I had satisfied Germany, and Italy.
