Allied Premiers Near a Deadlock Over German Question
At San Remo April 28 deliberations failed to break the deadlock between Irraned and Britain on the German question. Lloyd George urged Millerand to extend his stay to prevent a breakup without a satisfactory Anglo-French settlement. Marshal Foch reportedly favored allowing Germany 200,000 men under arms if Germany keeps treaty obligations, while two commissions were planned to control the Dardanelles. Millerand told correspondents of US papers that France seeks open policy and that America’s involvement in Turkish treaty matters is desirable. France emphasizes Germany’s duties under Versailles and seeks proof of good faith.
