its determination to continue all forms
of rearmament in violation OF the
treaty of Versailles.
'"The German government" the note

the strength of its army but also its
naval and air forces.
Whatever explanation may be ad-

gravity can lead to only one observa-

League of Nations and to the leagues

The note concluded by calling for

Of it's success were still further mini

undersecretary for foreign affairs, had
a talk with French Premier Castor
Doumergue in Paris. The latter reit-

examination Of the representations of
these promoters indicates they are ut
