THE ARMAMENTS OF THE REICH
HOW THE ALLIED NOTE IS RECEIVED IN BERLIN
The German government is said to refuse to meet all the Entente's demands.

LONDON, June 6. According to news received in London, the Allied note on disarmament has caused great irritation in Berlin. German nationalist newspapers will warn the government not to make any concessions, while the moderate press presents the Allied document as evidence of a petty spirit of hatred and rancor.
A senior Berlin diplomatic figure is said to have told an English journalist that the government neither wanted nor could agree to all the Allied demands, and that, moreover, he firmly hoped that the negotiations for the security pact would soon create a more reasonable atmosphere in Europe. "The Allied note," the senior German official added, "will be examined next Wednesday by the Reichstag Foreign Affairs Committee and the following Saturday by the prime ministers of the various states comprising the Reich, who will have to give their opinions, especially regarding police matters.
It will then take some time to prepare Germany's response to the Allied governments. This response will, moreover, be our final word on disarmament."

English Press Commentary
According to the Evening Standard, the problem would be posed as follows: On the one hand, it is extremely irritating that Germany is not executing the Treaty of Versailles. On the other hand, prolonging the occupation is a very unfortunate solution. Are we capable, yes or no, of demanding that Germany comply with the treaty? If so, why not take radical measures immediately, instead of discussing matters? If not, why maintain troops on the Rhine, if they only serve to add fuel to the fire?

The Daily Telegraph writes:
There was sincerity in the protest of Dr. Luther and his colleagues. They recognize that they have the opportunity they have so longed for to reach a conclusion on all matters relating to the disarmament of Germany and, at the same time, to complete the occupation of the northern Rhineland. As the note simply states, it now depends on the German government to create the conditions under which the evacuation can be carried out.

From the Times:
It may be said at once that the inter-affiliated note is skillfully drafted and that, while emphasizing the real danger arising from Germany's relaxation in the execution of the military clauses of the treaty, it takes full account of the political circumstances and makes no demands on the German government that could be considered excessive or unreasonable. The most remarkable fact of the present situation is that Great Britain and France are no longer divided, but are sincerely making a combined effort to establish a real peace in Europe once and for all.
