GERMAN REACTION
Angry Comment On British Note
(Received June 30, 1.10 a.m.) • BERLIN, June 29.
Herr Hitler’s newspaper, the “Voelkischer Beobachter,” says: “The British Note makes no contribution to peace and merelv justifies the cancellation of the Naval Treaty. Mr. Chamberlain selected the twentieth anniversary of Versailles to reply to a memorandum received two months ago. Is Britain playing for time, -as at Munich, or is she vzishing to beat down Moscow’s demands by hinting at a possible understanding with Germany? “The Note’s last sentence is a piece of impudence. One looks vainly for a reply to the Fuehrer’s speech of April 28, in which he offered England the hand of peace. The Note merely denies the encirclement with meagre words to the contrary. The cardinal mistake is the attempt to reduce the Naval Treaty to a mere technical instrument for limiting naval armament. If this is Britain’s view, then Germany was cheated in 1935.”
