“Germany Will Never Fight Britain Again”

LUnited_ Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright.l (Received 10 a.m.) BERLIN, December 1. assurance that Germany’s foreign policy will never be directed against vital British interests is' the essence of an important article occupying more than half of the; front page of the “Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung.” ■■ The article says: “It is a fundamental axiom of Germany’s foreign policy that there shall never be ,a second war between her and Britain. This was the basis of Herr. Hitler’s great peace d eclaration on May 17, 1935, which led to the naval agreement.’’ The article goes on tc-reiterate that the agreement between Germany and Japan is directed solely against .the Third Communist International, and in no Way against British interests. “We can only envy Britain in' that she has not herself ha'dfto pass through the Bolshevik menace,” said the article. “Germany stands in the front rank against Bolshevism. Her agreement with Japan does not divide Europe into two- camps. This will only happen if Britain insists on transforming this idealogical front into one of. Power politics.”
