League Council Opens Debate On Demands Os France, Belgium For Punishment. ACCUSES GERMANY London, Mar. 17 — (U.R) — The i league council, advised by Germany that she accepts an invita- : tion to attend the discussions, be- ! gan delate in a public session ■late today on the Franco-Belgian i resolution declaring Germany a I violator of the Locarno and Ver- [ sailles treaties. Maxim Litvinov, soviet foreign j commissar, opened the debate hy [ declaring Russia is ready to participate in all measures the council recommends for the aid of France and Belgium, in view of Germany’s re-occupation of tho Rhineland. Litvinov accused Germany of "brutal infringement of international treaties and saber rattling." He contended the council ought to give France and Belgium “tho greatest possible satisfaction." Accepts Invitation Berlin, Mar. 17—(U.R)— Germany today accepted the invitation of ■the league council to join in its ! discussion of the Rhineland crisis [and will send a. delegation to j London which will negotiate si- [ multaneously with the Locarno powers on Fuehrer Adolf Hitler’s [ peace proposals. It was officially announced the German delegates would arrive in London on Thursday. Political circles took a most moderate view of the refusal of the league council to discuss Hit- [ ler’s peace program. It was said specifically that the council was quite right, that it was incompetent to consider <the proposals. Then came the explanation —a new modification of the original German argument, apparently — tliet Germany did not mean the council should discuss them, but merely wanted to make sure that the Locarno powers would do so. Hitler’s speech at Frankfurt last [ night added little to the international situation. He took the usual , strong stand for German equality, again offered friendship to France, said that Germany wanted only peace and added: "Freedom and the rights natural to every man stand above the paragraphs of treaties. ’ Os France and the present sittia(CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX) Glee Club To Give Operetta Tonight The Decatur high school glee club will present the operetta.
