NAZI ATTACK

BITTER RESENTMENT VOICED. BRITAIN AND FRANCE BLAMED. ‘‘OBSTINACY ENCOURAGED.” (United Presa Association—Copyright., (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) LONDON, May 29. The Berlin correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” says that the resentment against Britain and France aroused in radical Nazi circles is illustrated in a violent speech in which Herr Goebbels (Minister of Propaganda), after reference to the attitude of certain Powers in the present crisis, said: “What are we to say about the Czechs’ continued aerial violation of the frontier? There are 75,000,000 Germans and 13,000,000 Czechoslovakians; but they act as though the position was reversed. Britain and France blame Germany for troop movements, but what about the Czech troop movements ? Peacemakers ought to be calling Prague to order instead of > encouraging the Czechs in their obstinacy.”

ISSUE OF “PEACE OR WAR?”

DOMINION TALKS IN LONDON

LONDON, Hay 28

The diplomatic correspondent of the Associated .Press states that the question uppermost in the minds of the Dominions’ representatives during the recent conversations with Mr Chamberlain and Lord Halifax has been “Peace or War ?”' The Australian delegation, led by Sir Earle Page, is especially concerned to ascertain the hearing of the European situation on the prospects of the Commonwealth negotiating foreign trade treaties as additional outlets for Australia’s expanding production of foodstuffs.

It is gathered that the "South Africans reiterated their Imperial Conference attitude cf pressing Britain to attempt without delay a settlement of all outstanding grievances with Germany, without waiting for two years, by which time armaments will be at a maximum and the Powers will be unwilling to settle differences except by war.
