NEGOTIATORS MASTERS. Briand and Stresemann Well Fitted for Security Parley. Bs Cable 10 The Star and Chicsgo Daily News. PARIS, October 3.—The Rhineland pact has reached the point of active negotiation. During the nine months since the German minister of foreign affairs, Dr. Stresemann, proposed it to France all the countries concerned have been creeping up cautiously to- ward the decisive conference to open Monday at Locarno, Switserland. By diplomatic notes framed after weeks of deliberation they have estab- lished the field of discussion. Now they must negotiate the pact. At this conference the pact may not take its final form. It may be neces- sary to make many changes before the different nations speaking through their parliaments accept the new en- gagements made by their forelgn mi isters at Locarno, but the principal points must be settled now. Master Compromisers. The conference either will lead to a definite peace on the Rhine or show that the French and German people are not ready to make the compro- mise which a security pact required. The able men who will do the nego- tlating know what depends on their dectgions. The principal compromises will have to be made between Foreign Minister Briand and Stresemann, and both are past grand masters at com- promising. It would be hard to pick a German and Frenchman better fitted for this delicate job. They have a number of things in their favor. Public opinfon in all the untries involved i3 prepared for a Rhinelund security pact. The French people. obsessed by the question of how to oblige the British to stay by their side in the event of a fresh war | with Germany. have come to accept the idea of asking Britain only to arantee the inviolability of the ineland. Beginning Must Be Made. Both the French and the Belgian people have accepted the idea of re- lying only on an agresment signed with Britain and Germany for their security. In principie they are ready to negotiate with Germany arbitra- tion treaties of some type that Brit- ain considers effective. The British, for their part, have accepted the idea of taking a definite engagement to defend the neutrality of the Rhine- land, provided France and Germany and Belgium and Germany sign satis- factory arbitration treaties. The Germans, after a period of “sturm und drang” seem to have re- nounced definitely Alsace and Lor- raine, Malmedy and Eupen. The soul struggle in Germany has been terrific. To the outside world it has only become known through violent speeches opposing the Rhineland pact. but it leaves Germany emotionally breathless on the eve of the con- ference. There is, in addition, a general feel- ing throughout Europe that a begin- ning to security pacts and arbitration agreements must be made. The League of Nations, which has served as a clearing house for political ideas in Europe, has occupied itself almost exclusively with the idea of European peace and security. Its final product, the Geneva protocol, was not accept- le imperative some defi- nite move by the countries which repudiated it. Great Britain was the chief of thess and logically Great Britain has been the chief country to urge the security pact. Though Ger- many proposed it, Britain takes no pains to hide the fact the inspiration was British. Believe U. S. Approves. Lord d’Abernon, British Ambassador in Berlin, is the father of the pact, and it is the common belief in Europe that President Coolidge, through Am- bassador Houghton, gave a diplomatitc nod of assent to the idea in the very beginning. Both British and American backing are of a kind which can be tacitly avowed, if the pact goes through, and tacitly denied in the event it fails. However that may be, the continent of Europe has come to the belief that British arms and American mone; & Rh | and British money, depend upon the “pacification” of Europe; in other words, the glnt‘ and naturally each is playing these considerations off against the other. France needs the assurance of Brit- ish arms, but Germany must have American’ money, o goes the play of the argument between the two coun- tries.. There is a general pressure ‘upon France to meet Germany as an equal and upon Germany to renounce def- initely what it lost in war. It goes against the grain of both of them, and it remains to be seen if they can bring themlelv&s tt; it. Bu:tt.h;:'.would :l.! comparatitvely easy if that.was there was to the problem. There are, however, other frontiers in Europe besides the Rhine, which are ) no less dangerous to the peace of th!‘ world. All Germany's new frontiers come immediately into discussion and the principal countries are by no means agreed on this important as- pect. The French do not wish to sign a Rhineland puct which will lessen the importance of thefr alliances with the Poles and Czechs. How frame a Rhineland pact which will guarantee Rhineland neutrality without creating a barrier which will make it impossible for France to stand by her alliea? How frame the pact 80 it will not look to the French as if they were hemmed in between the Rhine and the Atlantic, with Ger many and Russia free to crush all the smaller states and set up empires even more powerful thun befors? The French would do it by a series of arbitration treaties between Germany and its eastern and southern neigh bors which would in effect mean the final acceptance by Germany of all the frontiers established for Germany by the treaty of Versailles. As all of Germany dreams of changing those frontiers some day, there is such a divergence of views on one of the essentlals of the pact that it can only be solved by mutual compromise and renunciation. The French insist the Germans must agree to the Polish frontlers and | the Polish corridor or the French can- | not renounce the right to go to the aid of their aliles in the event of Germany trying to rectify these fron tiers by force of arms. And to give the right to the French to go 1o the ald of their allles there must be pro- vision in the pact which would in particular case allow the passage of armies across the Rhine. The British are interested only in the Rhine. They do not care whether the eastern frontiers of rmany re. main where they are or are changed at some future time. Naturally the British hope they may be changed amicably if changed, but if they are forcibly changed the British wish to be sure that does not upsct things on the Rhine, does not drug in France, and hence Britain, into a general | European war. The Germans do not visualize any such war, but they do hope somehow, some day, that their frontlers in Silesia and Posnania will be rather to the east, and as far as the Polish corridor there is no living German, from junker to pacifist, who accepts the idea of that remaining there for- ever. It looks, however, as if this might be partly avoided. Lave alreudy talked over an arbitra- tion treaty in Berlin. With the Poles however, it is not so simpie. They know perfectly well that the Germans do not intend to allow the Polish cor ridor to stand forever. They hope for security to prevent the Germans from getting rid of it by forca of arms. They mean to see to it that the “rench are not hemmed in so they cannot fall on the Germans from the Rhine. Would Bar Poles. The Germans would like to see no Poles or Czechs at Lacarno, and casfon.

The I'renc follow the line of thought of the Geneva proto. col. Everything must be arbitrated, they hold. and if any nation crosses a frontier it is an cggressor. and the others must fall upon it. The French ask, however, that there be nothing in the Rhineland pact to hem them in if some nation, Germany for in: or Russia, for that matt their Eastern allfes. On this point the French and Ger- mans zre diametrically opposed, each for a spectal reason. The French in- sist upon an open road to Poland: the Germans insist no armies shall cross Germany. The British are for throw. ing the whole question into the coun- il of the league to decide when occ sion arises. i Frat Society and Sorority to Dance.
