REICH HELD BOUND
FIRMLY TO LEAGUE
BY PEACE TREATY
Continued From First Page.)

CONTINUED From First Page.)
Geneva before the Reich plebiscite of
November H.
It was explained that the view con-
corning Germany's League withdrawal
was based on the expectation that po-
litical tension in Europe will be in
creased.
Instead of being a voluntary associate
in world peace machinery centered in
the league, some quarters felt, Germany
may now become a hostile outsider. AS
receipt of the official notification by the
League secretary was awaited here, the
journal Des Nations asserted Chancel-
lor Hitlers act proved the Nazi house
of cards built on ''pacificism" has col
lapsed.
The newspaper interpreted Hitler's
declaration that Germany will fulfill
her international obligations in so far as
possible as warning that the treaties
not signed by the Hitler government
including the treaty of Versailles-will
not be observed.
Change Insistence Seen.
International circles believe Germany
will insist on the creation of more pre-
else ways and means of obtaining the
1CNASlOAl VI blCdt4CS lild4l pAOfI0CO
in the League covenant, should she
later change her mind and cancel her
resignation.
(Two years must elapse before the
resignation can become effective, and
even then 1t may not unless the League
decides that Germany has fulfilled all
hei obligations under the covenant)
In particular, the Reich rupture with
the League was expected to further
weaken the immediate chances for a
disarmament agreement. These circles
believe that France, for one, would in
sist Germany be bound by the League
covenant before France could subscribe
to a new convention and make new
concessions
1t was pointed out that the Disarma-
ment Conference reply last week to
Baron Konstantin Won Neurath, the
German foreign minister, emphasized
that the program under consideration
provided for the realization of equality
rights for Germany, with corresponding
measures of security
The French point out that it was the
spirit of the League which brought
about the evacuation of the Rhine and
practical suppression of reparations
Some circles believe the attacks in the
League Assembly on Germany and her
treatment of the Jews contributed to
Hitler's decision.
