THE SECURITY PACT
GERMANY ACCEPTS the French note as a basis for discussion

London, June 27. The Foreign Office has received assurances from Berlin that the Berlin government would accept the French note as a basis for negotiations on the security pact. Germany would negotiate certain amendments with France.
It would seek admission to the League of Nations next September.
The Prime Ministers of the German States approve the Imperial Government's point of view

(From our special correspondent) Berlin, June 27. The discussion on the Pact of Guarantee continued today in the presence of the Minister-Presidents of the various German States, who approved the government's point of view.
In general, Germany therefore agrees to continue the discussion on the guarantee of the frontiers. Wilhelmstrasse wishes the various questions in dispute to be settled at an international conference. The official communiqué published last night by the Wolff Agency appears to have been conceived and written in an overly diplomatic tone. To interpret it accurately, one need only read the last sentence, which reads:
"The German government, which, in agreement with the last words of the note, would welcome negotiations leading to a genuine peace, will resolutely adhere to the German program aimed at a guarantee pact based on absolute reciprocity."
The rest of the communiqué was dictated solely by domestic political considerations. The nationalist attacks on Mr. Stresemann have resumed with renewed vigor. In the provinces, the various associations of the reactionary right continue to regard the Minister of Foreign Affairs as a traitor to the fatherland.
These maneuvers are being thwarted by Chancellor Luther, who is completely covering for his minister. It is even claimed that the cabinet, including the nationalist ministers, was absolutely unanimous in approving Mr. Stresemann's foreign policy. In Wilhelmstrasse circles, there is a certain optimism regarding the conclusion of the guarantee pact. The unclear points of Mr. Briand's note are still the subject of ongoing diplomatic negotiations. A response to the French document is not expected for another two weeks. This delay is explained as follows: "We cannot define our position until we know exactly what Mr. Briand intended to say in his note."
In Berlin, Mr. Chamberlain's speech was received with some satisfaction. It is still too early to make predictions about the fate of the ongoing negotiations. The Germans themselves do not yet know exactly what attitude they will take.
