.RHINELAND UNDER
LEAGUES GUIDANCE
High General Sees Naturalization
Scheme as Solving Issue of
French Security.

London.-Lord Robert Cecips plan
for naturalization of the Rhineland
under supervision of the League of
Nations, submitted to the highest
French political and military chief,
has received a very favorable recep-
ton.
One of the most important French
generals, often heard in the inner
councils of the government, has given
his opinion that the scheme would
seem to be the solution of the ques-
ton of French security from German
attack.
League advocates and Intervention
advocates generally in England are
greatly heartened by the French re-
action to Lord Roberts suggestions.
They express the belief it will figure
prominently in the forthcoming off,
cial negotiations between France and
Germany.
The French general has told French
officials the Cecil proposals would ac-
complish two things France seeks ~
Reduce Germany's recruiting ca
pacity by the amount of the Rhine
lands population-S,0 100000; (2) make
unavailable for mobilization purposes
the Rhineland railways, forcing Ger
many to mobilize as far back as the
Berlin-D Dresden Railway, thereby de-
laying a German advance ON France
by twelve days.
These twelve days would provide
the necessary time for Intervention
by other powers, it is. pointed out.
The utmost Importance is attached
to this generals opinion because of
his position.
Lord Roberts plan would leave
Germany in complete possession of
the Rhineland government, but a
league commission would exercise
enough supervision to see that no
Notifications were built and no troops
recruited in the territory.
