What exactly were the French and German aims for this treaty?

Does anyone else propose that this article be organized better? The information is a bit difficult to get without digging through everything.

Germany wanted to mislead the League of Nations by telling them what they wanted to hear. The Treaty never mentioned that Germany would not invade to the East.

[edit] "Spirit of Locarno"

It's the first time I heard this as a positive description. In Polish work I read it has negative connotations, because Germany refused to guarantee western Polis borders, while France didn't care about that.
