...striking Nationalist losses are of peculiar significance. Last spring, the leaders of the party proceeded to tone down their traditional white-hot pro-monarchist anti-Locarno and anti-Dawes plan program in order to enter the mild centre coalition cabinet, then formed by Dr. Marx (TIME, Feb. 7, 1927). By this compromise they apparently lost the confidence of almost half the Nationalist voters, who had had faith until then, that the monarchy might be restored in some modified form and that Germany might some day successfully buck against the Dawes Plan...
...European Union originated at Locarno, has been fostered by France, and is warmly approved by Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia. With Great Britain, and the Pan-American Union, it is intended that it form a trio of balanced powers of the white races. But it is not hard to see that it desires particularly to oppose a united and equal force to that of the United States.

His "implied reservations" to the pledge to renounce war as an instrument of national policy include self-defense, violation of the treaty by any signatory, obligations of the League of Nations states arising from the League covenant, and the Locarno obligations. To offset these concessions Secretary Kellogg has asked no reservations for such a vital American policy as the Monroe Doctrine...

How different is the position of Germany-which has no military alliances-was cleverly emphasized last week, in Dr. Stresemann's note: "The German Government is convinced that . . . the obligations arising from the Covenant of the League of Nations and the [Locarno] Rhine Pact . . . contain nothing which could in any way conflict with the obligations provided for in the draft treaty of the United States...
Quite ostentatiously the Kellogg text ignores the recent observation of M. Briand (TIME, April 9) that France will find it difficult if not impossible to sign a treaty which might conflict with her "previous obligations contained in international instruments, such as the Covenant of the League of Nations, the Locarno agreements or treaties guaranteeing neutrality." Mr. Kellogg now rather cleverly asks other powers whether they hold this view. Any reply which tends to indicate that the Powers are already committed to warlike sanctions in certain instances will be a feather in the Kellogg peace...
