Early editions of the national newspapers give columns to the discussion of the details of the mutual pledge. They stress the comparison between this personal I contact and the meetings of the dictators. . . • When Hitler and Mussolini meet it has been for destructive purposes, but - the meeting between the President and the Prime Minister has produced constructive ideas for the well-being of the whole world. . . ■ I WARMLY ENDORSED. "The' Times" says: "Their work will be warmly endorsed by all in enemyoccupied countries, and even in the enemy countries themselves', who have not forgotten the sweet taste of liberty." ; . The "Daily Telegraph" says it is a message of good hope to-people whom Nazism had overrun, plundered, and tortured. It ensures that any fresh peace offensive the Fuhrer may make will be rejected by all mankind except his- quislings.
