So The Times (which very often reflects MacDonald’s views most fully) quite openly proposes lifting all military restrictions on Germany, Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria, in exchange for a convention on arms limitation. There is not a single word about a security system, or about the Eastern Pact. In all probability, the British government will try to persuade the French to satisfy themselves with the convention and not to insist too zealously on the Eastern Pact. One should be on the alert!
