THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, DG, FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1935. BERLIN PRESS HITS FRENCH HOSTILITY Paris Accused of Failing to Improve Relations With Germany. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, March 22—The French profest against German rearmament brought from the official press today a counter-charge that France had failed to take advantage of oppor- tunities to improve her relations with the Reich. The accusation was contained in comment by the government mouth- piece, Diplomatische Politische Kor- respondenz, on the refusal of Baron Konstantin von Neurath, foreign min- ister, to entertain the French and Italian notes regarding Germany's violation of military clauses of the Versailles treaty. “France has neglected a multitude of opportunities to bring about better relations with Germany,” the news- paper said. “While the diplomacy has been seeking and discussing formulas, facts have happened which have made these formulas meaningless.” French Reproach Answered. One passage of the French note which contained the reproach that | Germany had intentionally wrecked | any prospect for successful negoti tions in the interest of European peace | was singled out by Korrespondenz for scathing denunciation. “This is a premature conclusion,” it said, “which permits the inference French policy has already quiesced in such an eventuality indeed would not even regret it The official organ vigorously pro- tested the section of the French note | which accused Germany its declaration of December 11, by which she recognized that he equality in arms “could not be achieved without the establishment of a regime of security for all.” Italian Note Hailed. France. Korrespondenz said, was not Justified in invoking this declaration because it was “based on a disarma- ment idea which has since been defi- nitely abandoned by the powers.” ‘The newspaper also drew a distinc- | tion between the tenor of the French of ignoring 19 and Italian communications, pointing | out that Italy clearly gave recognition to Germany’s claim for equajity while | the French note did not. A spokesman for the German gov- ernment declared that now the French and Italian protests have been re- Jected. there remain only two alterna- tives for the Paris and Rome govern- ments. “There are only two things they can do,” he said. “Either start their armies on the march or decide to ne- gotiate with us as equal powers.” INTERCOLLEGE BODY INSTALLS TONIGHT Gassaway to Address Public Gath- ering of District Division at Raleigh.

There are no songs and no brass bands playing— posted yet. in every war department throughout the Continent there is beehive activity. Lights can be seen at all the windows until late into the night.

(Continued Prom First Page) Berlin next week that Germany must again become a major sea power. A new system of alliances to build an “iron wall” around rearmed Ger- many was seen as a possibility today in the event of failure of the nego- tiations next week between Sir John and Hitler, A strong hint of the likelihood of such a policy was given by Sir John in the House of Commons last night. “A system of select and special com- binations, for assistance against the danger in our midst,” the foreign sec- retary said, was bound to be the al- ternative if it proved impossible to bring Germany back into the councils of Europe. Special Pacts Opposed. Sir John added, however, he had would be persuaded to participate in a general conference of the powers for conclusion of mutual security pacts guaranteeing peace, Capt. Anthony Eden, lord privy seal, will fly to Paris tonight to represent Great Britain at the momentous three- power conference with France and Italy tomorrow. His mission will include an attempt to mollify French wrath over what was termed England’s “capitulation” to Germany following Hitler’s thun- derclap coup announcing German con- scription. In the role of & lone “shock trooper,” Eden will ascertain the French and Italian views on the current crisis and at the same time pave the way for his and Sir John's interview with Hitler starting Sunday. ‘The British emissaries, it is expect- ed, will be confronted in Berlin by of at least 500,000, air strength equal to that of France and a navy at least | one-third the size of Great Britain's. The seriousness and difficulty with | which the foreign secretary views the | task of discussing European security | with Der Fuehrer was made plain by | him in the House of Commons last night when he said: “Nobody is less tempted than we | bitity of good results.” The agitation with which news of Germany's refusal French and Italian protests against her armament policy first was received | was allayed somewhat today. ‘The Times editorially chided France strong hopes such a necessity would for which Great Britain has no en- pacts of the sort. “It is scarcely necessary to say,” he said, special agreement between this y and any other.” > Berlin negotiations succeed, John said, he hoped Germany and Berlin believe that by a simul- taneous action they could easily defeat Russia.
