LORD HALIFAX'S VISIT
Good Reception In
Germany
DISCUSSIONS WITH
- HITLER
(UNITED PIIESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (Received November 14, 10.30 p.m.) LONDON, November 12.
Sir John Simon, Chancellor of the Exchequer, informed the House of Commons that Lord Halifax, Lord President of the Council, was going to Berlin next week. The visit was entirely private, but Herr Hitler had intimated that he would be glad to see him.
The Berlin correspondent of "The Times" says: "The announcement of Lord Halifax's visit could not be better received. Germany has high respect for his qualities as a statesman who is not too deeply engrossed in petty politics." The German newspapers frequently praised his clear-sighted unprejudiced approach to international politics and repeatedly named him one "with whom Germany could talk."
The official news agency states that the basic principle of German foreign policy is to seize any opportunity to exchange ideas with any power with a view to the maintenance of peace. The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Mail" believes that Herr Hitler and Lord Halifax will discuss colonies, the Far East war, the antiBolshevist Treaty, and Spain.
