Off on Motor Picnic

Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 17-(P)-
1.-THE foreign ministers of France and
Germany went on a motor picnic to-
day and tonight M BRAND and DR..
Stresemann are reported to have
| achieved much progress in laying
down a basis of accord BETWEEN the
two countries not only on all prob
lens where in they may be mutually
| interested.
Mr.. BRAND would not reveal what
questions were discussed at the meet
ing but they are understood to relate
to the gradual reduction of French
forces of occupation and also a DOS
sible pooling of economic and finan-
cial interests.
According to information from
| unofficial French sources, the two
statesmen in their four hour confer
ence also discussed the inter-allied
debts and Europe's debt to the Unit
ed States.
The official communique issued by
both sides is couched in identical
terms. 1t says the two, statesmen
examined all problems Susceptible
of interest to the two countries and
that they sought the best common
means of solving such questions" in
the spirit of tibet reaties already sign
ed by them.
M BRAND paid glowing tribute to
DIR. Stresemann's loyalty and SINGER
| ity. saying that all conversations
which have been held since the open
ing of the assembly have been car
ried on in an atmosphere of mutual
! trust.
DR.. Stresemann confirmed the i'm
] preston given By M BRAND that to-
/ days meeting was of immense pur-
! port for Europe's future.
