sums up the feeling in German po-

the Rhineland evacuation confer
ences at Geneva. There was no en-
thusiasm yesterday even in official
circles.
Germany did not believe that
evacuation had been brought even a
step nearer. On the contrary she
sees France and the other occupying
powers unmoved by Germany's plea
for removal of the troops as a log
ical outcome OF the Locarno treaty
and the Kellogg pact.
Because the German and French
viewpoints are SO Numerically OPP
posed. Germany exhibits great skep-
ticism that anything will come from
the special negotiations which are to
be held later. The Nationalist press,

eva proceedings as fiasco and says
that Germany had been sold
