gium stipulates that Germany must
never invade the soil OF France or
Belgium or attempt to create war In
the demiltarlzed Rhineland zone.

the treaties seek to provide, as far
as Is possible, to prevent warlike
conditions from arising.

Such editorial notice as the agree
nlents receive in this mornings

outstanding phrases Of the editorial
commentators.
