It also stated that Germany would never go to war with the other countries . Locarno divided borders in Europe into two categories: western, which were guaranteed by Locarno treaties, and eastern borders of Germany with Poland, which were open for revision . </P> <P> German foreign minister Gustav Stresemann made his highest priority the restoration of German prestige and privileges as a leading European nation . French withdrawal from the Occupation of the Ruhr was scheduled for January 1925, but Stresemann sensed that France was very nervous about its security and might cancel the withdrawal . Stresemann realized that France deeply desired a British guarantee of its postwar borders, but that London was reluctant . Stresemann came up with a plan whereby all sides would get what they wanted through a series of guarantees set out in a series of treaties . British Foreign Minister Austen Chamberlain enthusiastically agreed . France realized that its occupation of the Ruhr had caused more financial and diplomatic damage than it was worth . The conference of foreign ministers they convened in the Swiss resort of Locarno on October 1925 agreed on a plan . The first treaty was the most critical one: a mutual guarantee of the frontiers of Belgium, France, and Germany, which was guaranteed by Britain and Italy . The second and third treaties called for arbitration between Germany and Belgium, and Germany and France, regarding future disputes . The fourth and fifth were similar arbitration treaties between Germany and Poland, and Germany and Czechoslovakia . Poland especially, and Czechoslovakia as well, felt threatened by the Locarno agreements and these treaties were an attempt to reassure them . Thanks to the Dawes Plan, Germany was now making regular reparations payments . The success of the Locarno agreements led to the admission of Germany to the League of Nations in September 1926, with a seat on its counsel as a permanent member . </P>
