the Locarno peace pacts fully
On the third reading of the bill per
hitting the government to sign the
treaties OF London, the parliament
passed the resolution.
This was the upshot Of fight, re
garded as sure to fail, engineered by
nationalists and communists against
the measure on the ground largely
that the pacts did not give sufficient
reciprocity to Germany, while they al
legedly voluntarily confirmed Ger
many's previous acceptance OF the
Versailles treaty.
The vote was 300 to ia.
The reichstag also approved the
concomitant measure providing for
Germany's entry into the league Of
nations The application for admis-
sion is scheduled to be made soon.
The vote on the league question
was 27S to 1873.
After the votes on article l and 2,
authorizing signing and league entry,
the reichstag accepted the entire Lo-
carno bill, POI to TIA.
