Foreign News: Le Marechal
Le Marechal Foch, who is now paying an official visit to Poland, confirmed France's intention of assisting Poland against foreign aggression :
" I can again declare in the name of the French Government, which I represent," he said at Posen, answering an address of welcome, " that France will always be ready to aid Poland in defence of her rights and maintenance of the existing treaties, and that we also count upon Poland."
It has been stated that France is principally interested in protecting Poland to insure herself against either German or Russian aggression. Owing to its geographical position Poland acts as a buffer state between Germany and Russia; therefore, a military agreement between Germany and Russia is rendered practically impossible. The last sentence of Foch's speech seems a significant reminder to the Belgium of Eastern Europe.
