England, the Reich, and the Pact of Guarantee

Our friends and allies in the once-cordial Entente are no longer taking much precaution to let us know that they do not want a Pact of Guarantee, as we have understood it.
"The main purpose of the British Communication to France," writes the Daily Telegraph, "is to explain to our French allies that the concept of a security pact, as drawn up by France, is entirely different from that of the British Government."
And so, my concept takes precedence over yours!... France, which will be the first to be invaded in the event of a new conflict with Germany, knows where it is going when it makes a proposal concerning its own security which, in turn, ensures that of other nations, England in particular...
Mr. Briand and the Quai d'Orsay are quite right to resist and not to abandon the French point of view, which is to rely primarily on the military forces of Poland and Czechoslovakia. With the Reich, only force counts, and for once, when it serves the law, we would be wrong to ignore it...

The German press naturally rejoiced at England's attitude: "Great Britain," wrote the Lokal Anzeiger, "has had its last word by expressing its approval of the German proposal and placing France in the position of either joining the Guarantee Pact, interpreted in the British sense, or renouncing the English alliance..." The Boersen Kurier also read: "In forceful language, the British press points out to France that it is at the end of its tether..."

As can be seen from these two excerpts, taken at random, the organs of the Reich consider it pointless to resort to evasions and prevarications now that Hindenburg is the master of the Empire. They speak clearly: why don't we do the same here!
