GERMAN COLONIES
ALL WANTED BACK
OFFICIAL PREPARATIONS
NOT A MATTER FOR WAR
By telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received October 13, 2.15 p.m.) BERLIN, October 12.
An authoritative statement of German colonial policy from an official who is in contact with the highest quarters emphasises the German demands for the return of all the colonies of which she was deprived, and adds that Herr Hitler is regarded as having made the demand for them and that a further formulation is not to be expected. This is in reference, apparently to the conversations between Herr Hitler and Mr. Chamberlain at Godesberg, when Herr Hitler said that there was one awkward question, that of colonies, but that it would not be a matter for war.
In the expectation that the colonial question will be settled at an early date in Germany's favour, Dr. Schacht, President of the Reichsbank, has established a department of the bank to study problems of new colonial currencies.
A spokesman gave an assurance that there is no intention of increasing the German fleet beyond the limits of the Anglo-German Treaty, even if Germany again becomes a colonial Power. The maintenance of the British Empire was a positive factor of German policy.
