A sudden shift to London of today’s conference of Locarno signatories was ‘taken to mean that the two powers had agreed upon a firm stand toward Germany and possibly the lifting of economic sanctions from Italy. Pierre-Btienne Flandin, French for eign mim'ster, backed by his ring of military allies ’ virtlially ' encircling Germany, was understood to h^e hammered 4jome to Anthony^ Eden, British foreign secretary, that Hit ler’s might could only be balked by “right linked with force.” Out of Prernier ^^ut’s refusal to negotiate while a German army was still in the Rhineland and the disposi tion of Britain to consider German proposals for ,a new all embracive pact, the four alKed Locarno signa tories — Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium—were reported evolving a" formula acceptable to both. ‘ One portion of this formula, it was reported, involved a clean bill of h<»lth in Africa for Premier Musso lini of Italy in exchange for'the inoral force of his million-man army in Eu rope. .The sudden transfer of the Locarno discussions to London and the sum moning of the council of the League of Nations to meet .there Saturday, presumably to ratify their decision.
