I PRAYER FOR HITLER ; IN ST. PAUL’S •‘BURDEN OF GREAT NATIONAL DECISIONS*’ (Received March 30, 7.5 p.m.> LONDON. March 29. The Dean of St. Paul's. Dr. W. R. Matthews, included Herr Hitler in the prayers at the service to-night as one of those who bore the burden of making great national decisions. The Dean explained afterwards that the prayer was not intended as a reply to the protest by the Liverpool clergy against the proposal to send British troops into the Rhineland. [A. message on March 24 staled that a mild storm had arisen through the Dean oi Liverpool Cathedral 'the Very Rev. F. W, Dwelly > omitting on Sunday night the usual prayer for the guidance of Cabinet, on the ground i that the proposal to send British troops ! to the Rhineland was monstrous ana j unjustiriable.

Flandin). sneaking at Veze lay. M. Fiandin added: “We are nc I less resolved to establish a durable | peace than to denounce the trick; I and manoeuvres which are menac,'ing peace and preparing for new 1 wars. What will the value of any . treaty be if Germany reserves the ; right to repudiate it in the name oi : of the moral and vital rights of hei j people? ! “What will her attitude be to any ; treaty she signs? If she does not | recognise an independent and im- | partial judge, what judge will she accept? “Herr Hitler must explain what is meant by the vital necessity for 1 Germany to obtain full equality of rights. If Germany claims the right to possess and exploit colonies, to which colonies does she refer? Dees she demand an important colonial empire, and at whose expense will she constitute it? ‘Tt is significant that at the moment Herr Hitler ' appeals for peace Nazi propaganda is redoubled in Austria, Danish Schleswig. Silesia, Czechoslovakia, and Switzerland. Has he. to prepare for 25 years of peace, remilitarised and fortified a demilitarised zone? "‘The German conception of international life is force: that of the remainder of the w r orid is the conception of right. France is convinced that mutual assistance, obligatory and immediate in the event of unprovoked aggression, is the surest preventive of war.”
