It is anticipated that they will insist upon their determination to achieve general, international relaxation of tension. The appointment of M. Robert Coulondre, Ambassador to Moscow, as the envoy in Berlin to replace M. Andre Francois-Poncet who is going to Rome, is regarded as a preliminary in this direction.

They do admit, however, that Franco-Soviet "and Germano-Soviet relations are closely connected with Franco-German.relations.
Government quarters, commenting upon the present situation, stress that close ce-operation with Britain remains the fundamental of French policy.
Public opinion, seems to believe most in a vast rearmament programme as the best method of reaching an understanding with the great European Powers—Havas.
