Hitler Flays Attempt to
Force Renunciation of
Sovereign Rights
By CHARLES P. NUTTER
(Copyright 1986 by the Associated
; m!fl-) Vo e o X
LONDON(P)—"The French af
nounced today that, unmoved by
a German threat to seek isolation,
they would insist absolutely on
the removal of German troops
from the Rhineland.
This announcement came as
delegates from the Locarno treaty
signatories met to disctss a Brit
ish »lan which informed sources
said they believed sought a mid
dle course of action in the pres
ent crisis.
There was no immediate official
hint as to what the British plan
contained but it was believed that
it stopped short of laying down
an ultimatum to Germany to re
move its troops from the long
demilitarized zone.
A French spokesman declared:
“We shall not discuss the’ ‘peace
proposal’ made by a power which
has broken treaties until the bro
ken provisions of those treaties
are restored.”
Handled Carefully
The British were understood to
be insisting that the situation be
handled firmly but carefully.
This British policy developed
from three successive meetings of
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin’s
cabinet, in the consensus of diplo
ymatic circles, while statesmen of
the Locarno powers assembled for
discussions on which peace or war
might depend. i
France's foreign minister,
Pierre-Etienne Flandin, demand
ing a retreat of the Nazi troops
from the left bank of the Rhine
before the powerS considér the
pffers of new treaties which Adolf
Hitler extended simultaneously
with the violation of the Locarno
pact, detlared upon his arrival
for the conferences:
“T have every confidence in. the
ultimate issue of the conversations
which have been begun.”
WON’T BE DRIVEN

government declared today that if
any attempt shouald be made to
