HJTLEK WAITS CONFIDENCE IN PEOPLE'S VERDICT JLOYALTY ASSERTED BY MASS MEETINGS (Received October 16. 11.10 p.m.) BERLIN. October 15. Hcrr Hitler and his Cabinet are now sitting back waiting for the next move from the Great Powers. The Government as a whole heartily endorses the Italian suggestion of an adjournment of the Disarmament Conference, arguing that the adoption of a convention for submission to Germany for approval or rejection would be provocative and in the nature of an ultimatum. It is expected that Germany v. nl be comule'tclv united on the referendum 'to be taken on November 12. Voters will be asked whether the German people approves and acknowledges the policy laid down in th- Government's appeal, and also w; -''. her they support the Nazi IXV'.Y.

Dr. Paul Goebbels, Minister for Propaganda. addressing 100,000 people at Himmcrich, reiterated that Germany did not desire war. She had no arms and wished for an honourable peace. Her withdrawal from the league was not a demonstration against peace, but in favour of it.
