Stresemann Explains Stand With
Regard to France.

BERLIN, March 13.-Foreign Min
lister Stresemann, in an interview
with the Cologne Gazette, enIarges
on the question of the proposed secur-
ity pact and Germany's recent sur-
gestions along that line.
These suggestions were made, he
said, to dissipate Frances "unjusti-
fed imagination that she is threat
ened by Germany" and to manifest
to the world Germany's genuine de-
sire for peace.
For this reason" the foreign min
lister continued. the German repre-
sentatives at London, Paris, Rome
and Brussels were instructed to in
form the respective governments that
Germany Is ready to join in a secur-
ity pact of the powers interested in
the Rhine to guarantee the present
frontiers on the Rhine, and also to
conclude arbitration treaties with all
the powers on the lines of those con-
cluded with Switzerland and Sweden ."
DR.. Stresemann pointed out that
Germany had not made any definite
proposals, but had only advanced sur-
gestions which were included in the
memorandum handed to the allied
governments, and were the limit of
what Germany could offer.
