British Offer New
Treaty 10 Germans
Against Conquest
Counter Proposals Sent
To Russia as England
Repairs All Fences

LONDON, May 3. (UP)-
Britain tentatively offered
Germany a mutual pledge
against aggression today and
made counter proposals to
Moscow designed to bring Soviet
Russia into a European non-aggres-
sion pact with Britain and France
Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain told a questioner in the
House of Commons that the gov
ernment would be ready to con-
slider giving Germany reciprocal
assurances against aggression.
Chamberlain declared that Brit
ain has not adopted a policy of
encircling Germany, adding that
the government will gladly con-
slider proposals for British guaran-
tees against aggression.
Chamberlain statement was in
effect an informal acceptance OF
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's offer in his
Reichstag speech last Friday TO
consider overtures from any of the
WlllOll IbOOoCNC4o
implied were in danger of German
aggression.
Chamberlain, obviously answer
ing Germany's reasons for de-
nouncing the German-B British naval
agreement, said that BritainS as
suranceS of protection TO Poland
in case of attack were not inconSis-
tent with the naval accord.
The foreign office already has
sent to Berlin a formal acknowl~
edgement of Germany'S denuncia-
ton Of naval treaty, and is expected
TO follow it with a further COM
containing general OBJ
servationS.
The problem of bringing Russia
into peace front" without hay
ing Britain go the full extent OF
the Soviet proposal for a three
power military alliance, was con-
Sidered at a three hour cabinet
meeting. The cabinet decided to
send new instructions to Sir Will
liam Seeds, British ambassador to
Moscow, including certain reserva-
tions on mutual defense which ST:

Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Es-
thonia and Latvia, guaranteeing
them against attack by Germany
and assuring their neutrality il
Germany is engaged in war III
Europe.
The move conceded with a decid-
ed turn for the worse in Germanys
relations with Poland, in which the
controlled German press strongly
warned Warsaw against rejecting
Adolf Hitler demands for the re-
turn of Danzig and a road across
the Polish corridor to East Prus-
sia.
The German government, it was
learned, has, after several weeks
of negotiation with the Swedish
and Finnish governments, agreed in
principle TO Sweden and Finland
tortifying the Aaland islands in the
Baltic.
The islands, lying between the
Gulf of Bothnia and the Baltic
are of greatest strategic importance
AZ " do ltlt move
was aimed at preventing Russia
from SeiZing the islands and using
them as a naval and submarine
base against Germany in the event
of war.
II the aggression pactS with
the Scandinavian and Baltic ma
tons are concluded, it would mean
that Germany herself would re-
nounce any possibility of Seizing
the islands as a base against Rus
Sia.
The foreign ministers of four
Scandinavian nations were under
stood tonight to be planning a
meeting at Stockholm Tuesday to

procal non-aggression pacts.
