French Assurances London, Dee. 5

The spontaneity and completeness of the assurances given by M. Y. Delbos, French Foreign Minister, thai all the forees of France on land, sea and alr would be immediately used for the defence of Britain against an unprovoked aggression has been received here with great satisfaction.

It is noted that the full deflation of the French altitude by M. Delbos like that offered in regard to the British attitude by the Foreign /Seeretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, in Fecent speeches, is in accord with the agreement reached in March and that there is nothing exclusive in either statement, Delbos added that so far as a new Locarno was concerned, France, Uke Britain, wanted nothing better than to see Germany enter the system security on the same footing and with the same assurances, and it is elt here that M, Delbos* statement can have no other thai good results on the European position generally.
