When the representatives of the Great Powers were discussing the terms of the treaty that were aftsr- wards ratified at Versailles in 1910. France demanded some guarantee against invasion by Germany on her eastern boundary. Twice in less than hall’ a century ‘German soldiers had crossed the ‘Rhine in aggressive warfare on France and French statesmen asked that some steps be taken to prevent a third invasion or to make it at least a most dangerous undertaking for the llggressors. Tile result was France, - Britain and the United States agreed to a treaty by which tile latter two countries would come to the aid of ‘France in case of German aggression. This treaty. although agreed to at ‘Paris and slgnctl at Versailles was rejected by the United States and never became operative, ' BANK CL EARIINGS When France saw that there was little or no chance of this Treatyol’ Security being effective she cast around for solne other means to guarantee her country against ull- 1924 1925 January ...................... ..e1,so9e421ze 1 10102199 "mviiked "ilack- H" “"7 “w. agm-“ry _ _ __ 1378;550:077 $1§°9k27k72 the ‘Ruhr and her occupation o1 arch‘ . 1,114,219,010 1,19s,145,es9"’—'—'“_ "' “m Arr" .. 1,209,099,549 1,210,119,239 L O C A R N O Jilly . 1,491,525,129 1,941,990,990 - , June .. . 1,250,902,914 1,240,019,019 .101,- . 1,401,414,059 1,990,190,491 .
